Abstract：Arterial spin labeling (ASL) utilizing the water in arteries as an endogenous contrast media is a functional magnetic resonance imaging with advantages of noninvasive, lower cost, simpler operation and repetition, and avoiding the potential side effects from exogenous contrast agents. Three-dimensional arterial spin labeling (3D-ASL) which is based on fast spin echo (FSE) spiral K space gathering can effectively overcome motion artifacts and magnetic susceptibility artifacts come from EPI. Compared with the conventional ASL, the main advantages of ASL are more wider image, better quality, faster gathering speed, more accurate signal location and so on. All of the mentioned advantages make it wider application than conventional ASL. The research progress and clinical application of 3D-ASL were reviewed.
