[Abstract] Four dimensional arterial spin labeling (4D-ASL) is a technique similar to DSA, which can provide hemodynamic information of vascular diseases. This paper will explain the principle and scanning method of 4D-ASL imaging. 4D-ASL does not require contrast agent and is suitable for patients with renal insufficiency, pediatric patients and repeated follow-up studies. It has higher temporal and spatial resolution. 4D-ASL is becoming the next generation of angiography for neurovascular diseases such as arteriovenous malformation, arteriovenous fistula and moyamoya disease. In arteriovenous malformation and arteriovenous fistula, 4D-ASL can accurately show the size of the lesion vascular mass, the information of the supplying artery and the draining vein. It can evaluate collateral vessels in moyamoya disease to determine the therapeutic strategy of bypass surgery. This paper introduces the imaging basis of 4D-ASL, as well as the new technologies combined with other assistive technologies. This paper studies the future development of 4D-ASL.
