: Assessment of the hemodynamic status of the brain in patients with cerebrovascular diseases is crucial for providing valuable clinical information. Various magnetic resonance perfusion sequences are used in studies, and one of the current challenges is comparing methods utilizing exogenous and endogenous contrast. This meta-analysis aimed to evaluate the correlation between arterial spin labeling (ASL)-derived perfusion parameters and those obtained by dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) perfusion in stroke and steno-occlusive diseases. : A systematic review and meta-analysis were conducted, including 14 studies that reported correlation coefficients between perfusion MRI sequences in the assessment of stroke or steno-occlusive diseases. The correlation between ASL-derived cerebral blood flow (ASL-CBF) and DSC-derived cerebral blood flow (DSC-CBF) was analyzed, considering different magnetic field strengths (1.5 T and 3.0 T), sequence types, and brain regions. Additionally, real and normalized data were compared. : A moderate positive correlation was found between ASL-CBF and DSC-CBF (R = 0.464). Subgroup analysis demonstrated that ASL-CBF and DSC-CBF correlated at 3.0 T (R = 0.401) and 1.5 T (R = 0.700). No significant differences were observed in correlation coefficients based on sequence type or brain region. Normalized data demonstrated a higher correlation coefficient compared to real data (Rreal = 0.393, Rnorm = 0.496). Additionally, the correlation coefficient between ASL-CBF and DSC-derived mean transit time (DSC-MTT) for all included studies was R = -0.422. : ASL-derived perfusion parameters demonstrate moderate-to-high agreement with DSC perfusion parameters in stroke and steno-occlusive patients. These findings support the potential utility of ASL as a non-invasive alternative to DSC perfusion imaging in clinical and research settings.
评估脑血管疾病患者的脑血流动力学状态对于提供有价值的临床信息至关重要。研究中使用了各种磁共振灌注序列,当前的挑战之一是比较使用外源性和内源性对比剂的方法。这项荟萃分析旨在评估动脉自旋标记(ASL)衍生的灌注参数与通过动态磁敏感对比(DSC)灌注在中风和狭窄闭塞性疾病中获得的参数之间的相关性。:进行了一项系统评价和荟萃分析,包括14项报告了在评估中风或狭窄闭塞性疾病时灌注MRI序列之间相关系数的研究。分析了ASL衍生的脑血流量(ASL-CBF)与DSC衍生的脑血流量(DSC-CBF)之间的相关性,考虑了不同的磁场强度(1.5T和3.0T)、序列类型和脑区。此外,还比较了实际数据和标准化数据。:发现ASL-CBF与DSC-CBF之间存在中度正相关(R = 0.464)。亚组分析表明,ASL-CBF与DSC-CBF在3.0T(R = 0.401)和1.5T(R = 0.700)时相关。基于序列类型或脑区的相关系数未观察到显著差异。标准化数据显示与实际数据相比具有更高的相关系数(R实际 = 0.393,R标准化 = 0.496)。此外,所有纳入研究中ASL-CBF与DSC衍生的平均通过时间(DSC-MTT)之间的相关系数为R = -0.422。:在中风和狭窄闭塞性疾病患者中,ASL衍生的灌注参数与DSC灌注参数显示出中度至高度一致性。这些发现支持了ASL作为DSC灌注成像在临床和研究环境中的非侵入性替代方法的潜在效用。
