The introduction of planning-free vessel-encoded pCASL made flow-territory mapping feasible for clinical use, though lack of individual planning could impede reproducibility of this technique. We assessed the reproducibility of planning-free vessel-encoded pCASL in patients and controls. Results indicated that planning-free vessel-encoded pCASL is a reproducible method that could assist in clinical decision-making.
