Hello,
I have pcASL data from a Siemens 3T scanner which I would like to process using the provided rcbf-prep command. The process completes smoothly without error. However when I inspect my roi.dat file, I observe that all the ROI values are actually negative, and seem to be beyond physiological CBF range (~60-120 ml/100g/min).
The roi.dat file is pasted below. Would there be any reason to suspect that the tag-control subtraction might be running inverted? I was trying to find a way to customize the command, but seems like there’s no option to specifying the order of tag and control.
Any help would be appreciated!
Best, Asif
