Arterial spin-labeling (ASL) MRI has gained recognition as a quantitative perfusion imaging method for managing patients with brain tumors. Limited studies have so far investigated the reproducibility of ASL-derived perfusion in these patients. This study aimed to evaluate intrasession repeatability...
