Summary
This study tested whether a special MRI technique called Arterial Spin Labeling (ASL) can measure blood flow in the brain to help diagnose autism in children. Researchers studied 115 children aged 5 to 17 with autism or suspected autism. The goal was to see if this safe, non-invasive scan could replace PET scans, which use radiation, as a diagnostic tool.
