Cerebral blood flow (CBF) is an important index for measuring brain function. Studies have shown that regional CBF changes inconsistently in mild cognitive impairment (MCI). Arterial spin labeling (ASL) is widely used in the study of CBF in patients with MCI. However, alterations in CBF connectivity...
