A previously presented arterial spin labelling (ASL) method was tested for reproducibility and variability. These measures are important to consider when planning a clinical study. The results presented show that the method has the sensitivity required to detect changes in MBF in pathology and under stress. The variation in individuals is shown to be less than across the sample as a whole. This knowledge will be useful in the planning of future clinical research studies.
