Dear Karsten, Thanks for quick reply. The processing procedure of CBF data are: Firstly, the CBF image were corregistered with the corresponding T1 image;Secondly,the T1 image were normalized using the unified segmentation method in SPM;Finally,the CBF images were spatially normalized and re-sampled (2x2x2 mm) using the normalization parameters estimated during unified segmentation. The 3D ASL sequence I used constructed images of two types: one is perfusion-weighted image and the other is PD image.Thanks for you suggestion and I will try a normalization on the PD image.
