The study's findings suggest promising concordance between hypometabolism estimated by 18F-FDG PET and hypoperfusion determined by ASL perfusion MRI. This raises the possibility that, with prospective technical enhancements, ASL perfusion MRI could be considered an alternative modality to 18F-FDG PET in the future.
