[Abstract] Arterial spin labeling (ASL) technique is an emerging technique MR cerebral perfusion technique which can measure the cerebral blood flow quantitatively and noninvasively in genuine. The reliability and reproducibility of the perfusion technique is essential before perfusion imaging data can be pooled from different times or from different scanners. However the reproducibility and reliability of data from ASL is not as robust as imagine. Some work has been done to assess the reproducibility and reliability of data from ASL. This work will have a review on it.
