The purpose of this study was to investigate the similarity and reliability of resting brain networks between BOLD and ASL based rs-fMRI. A 2x2x2 factorial design was applied where 10 subjects underwent repeated BOLD and ASL rs-fMRI scans on two occasions on two separate MRI scanners respectively. While BOLD-networks showed excellent test-retest-reliability across sessions and scanners in their spatial pattern, ASL-networks showed reduced yet still adequate repeatability as well as highly reproducible network CBF measurements. The combination of ASL and -BOLD rs-fMRI provides a powerful tool to fully characterize the spatiotemporal and quantitative properties of resting brain networks.
