We evaluated the test-retest repeatability of MR-measurement of CBF, OEF and CMRO₂ in whole brain, gray matter, white matter, and watershed regions in healthy subjects. The inter-session wCV was 2.20% in white matter and 2.76% in watershed region for OEF measured with ASE, 15.02% in white matter and 28.73% in watershed region for CBF measured with 2D multi-slice pCASL, and 9.11% in white matter and 17.14% in watershed region for CBF measured with background suppressed 3D pCASL. CMRO₂ had similar test-retest repeatability to CBF.
