Variability in regional relative cerebral blood flow (CBF) from resting-state arterial spin labeling (ASL) MRI data obtained in a large (N=436) cohort were examined using spatial Independent Components Analysis (ICA). Some spatial patterns of intersubject CBF variability resembled known resting-state functional networks, and were largely reproducible across split samples. Network relative CBF fluctuation across subjects was about 14%.
