Preprint / Working Paper
Mutsaerts, H., Petr, J., Groot, P., Vandemaele, P., Ingala, S., Robertson, A. D., …Barkhof, F. ExploreASL: an image processing pipeline for multi-center ASL perfusion MRI studies

Arterial spin labeling (ASL) has undergone significant development since its inception, with a focus on improving standardization and reproducibility of its acquisition and quantification. In a community-wide effort towards robust and reproducible cl... Read More about ExploreASL: an image processing pipeline for multi-center ASL perfusion MRI studies.

Toblerone: Surface-Based Partial Volume Estimation (2019)
Journal Article
Kirk, T. F., Coalson, T. S., Craig, M. S., & Chappell, M. A. (2020). Toblerone: Surface-Based Partial Volume Estimation. IEEE Transactions on Medical Imaging, 39(5), 1501-1510. https://doi.org/10.1109/tmi.2019.2951080

Partial volume effects (PVE) present a source of confound for the analysis of functional imaging data. Correction for PVE requires estimates of the partial volumes (PVs) present in an image. These estimates are conventionally obtained via volumetric... Read More about Toblerone: Surface-Based Partial Volume Estimation.

Robust estimation of quantitative perfusion from multi‐phase pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling (2019)
Journal Article
Msayib, Y., Craig, M., Simard, M. A., Larkin, J. R., Shin, D. D., Liu, T. T., …Chappell, M. A. (2020). Robust estimation of quantitative perfusion from multi‐phase pseudo‐continuous arterial spin labeling. Magnetic Resonance in Medicine, 83(3), 815-829. https://doi.org/10.1002/mrm.27965

Purpose
Multi‐phase PCASL has been proposed as a means to achieve accurate perfusion quantification that is robust to imperfect shim in the labeling plane. However, there exists a bias in the estimation process that is a function of noise in the dat...
