Decreased cerebral blood flow (CBF) and deterioration of blood-brain barrier (BBB) are suggested to be
precursor conditions of cognitive impairment. Using a novel multi-echo-time arterial spin labelling (ASL)
protocol, we examined the time of exchange (Tex) of water across the BBB as a measurement of BBB
permeability. We further examined the association of cardiovascular risk factors with Tex in an ongoing cohort
study.
