title = "Slice profile optimization in arterial spin labeling using presaturation and optimized RF pulses",
abstract = "An important source of error in arterial spin labeling (ASL) is incomplete static tissue subtraction due to imperfect slice profiles. This effect can be reduced by saturating the spins in the imaging area prior to labeling. In this study, the use of optimized presaturation is compared with the use of optimized RF pulses for minimizing this error.",
