Two identical PASL scans were conducted to assess repeatability of the measured hyperemic response. Results shown are average (standard deviation). Reported P-value is for comparison between PASL and pCASL results. Gastroc, gastrocnemius muscle; AC, anterior compartment; TTP, time to peak; HFV, hyperemic flow volume; HD, hyperemic duration.
