Arterial spin labeling (ASL) signals reflect blood flow
delivery to local brain tissue, but may be affected by
arterial transit time (ATT). Low-resolution ATT pre-scan
has been proposed as a means of reducing the ATT
contribution1. Reproducibility studies have recently
been reported from several groups using different ASL
schemes, but no reports have described the
reproducibility of ATT and ATT-corrected CBF. This study
was to assess the reproducibility and reliability of ATT
and ATT-corrected CBF maps compared with those of
uncorrected CBF calculated using fixed transit time
delay.
