  • Note:—HR indicates high-resolution.

  • a Differences between repeated identical pCASL acquisitions with consensus paper parameter settings.

  • b A bias that is significantly different from zero (P < .05).

  • c A significantly different variance across the observed pair-wise differences between acquisitions compared with the variance across the pair-wise differences between repeated consensus paper parameter settings (P < .05).
