In this study we assessed the accuracy and precision of
quantitative pCASL-based CBF and CVR measurements by
performing a head-to-head comparison with
15
O
H
2
O PET, based on quantitative CBF
measurements during baseline and hypercapnia. We
demonstrate that pCASL CBF imaging is accurate during
both baseline and hypercapnia with a precision
comparable to
15
O
H
2
O PET.
