Objective To evaluate the reliability of three dimensional spiral fast spin echo pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling(3 D pc-ASL) in measuring cerebral blood flow(CBF) with different post-labeling delay time(PLD) in the resting state and the right finger taping *** 3 D pc-ASL and three dimensional T1-weighted fast spoiled gradient recalled echo(3 D T1-FSPGR) sequence were applied to eight healthy subjects twice at the same time each day for one week interval. ASL data acquisition was performed with post-labeling delay time(PLD) 1.5 seconds and 2.0 seconds in the resting state and the right finger taping state respectively. CBF mapping was calculated and CBF value of both the gray matter(GM) and white matter(WM) was automatically extracted. The reliability was evaluated using the intraclass correlation coefficient(ICC) and Bland and Altman *** ICC of the GM(0.84) and WM(0.92) was lower at PLD 1.5 seconds than that(GM, 0.88; WM, 0.94) at PLD 2.0 seconds in the resting state, and ICC of GM(0.88) was higher in the right finger taping state than that in the resting state at PLD 1.5 seconds. ICC of the GM and WM was 0.71 and 0.78 for PLD 1.5 seconds and PLD 2.0 seconds in the resting state at the first scan, and ICC of the GM and WM was 0.83 and 0.79 at the second scan, *** This work demonstrated that 3 D pc-ASL might be a reliable imaging technique to measure CBF over the whole brain at different PLD in the resting state or controlled state.
