Non-invasive MRI of the blood–cerebrospinal fluid barrier (BCSFB) function. a Diagram for the principle underlying arterial spin labeling. The arterial blood water of the brain feeding arteries is spin-labelled, and the signal is measured from labelled blood water that has been transported to the CSF. b Above—traditional arterial spin labeling (ASL) signal probes blood–brain barrier (BBB) function and the novel BCSFB-ASL signal, below—ASL images from a single mouse.
