Popis: | The aim of this study was to investigate the reliability of cerebral blood flow (CBF) measurements obtained by 3D pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling (pCASL) imaging according to imaging parameters, scanner model, and field strength. We acquired 3D pCASL images in 12 healthy volunteers using four different scanners: two 3.0 T scanners and two 1.5 T scanners. Reliability was evaluated using intraclass correlation coefficient. Our results indicate that the influence of the post-labeling delay and scanner model on CBF measurements should be taken into consideration. If two scanners of the same model are used, scannerdependent differences may be small. |
