Ultrasound perfusion imaging (UPI) can be used for the quantification of cerebral perfusion. In a neurointensive care setting, repeated measurements are required to evaluate changes in cerebral perfusion and monitor therapy. The aim of this study was to determine the repeatability of UPI in quantification of cerebral perfusion. UPI measurement of cerebral perfusion was performed three times in healthy patients. The coefficients of variation of the three bolus injections were calculated for both time-and volume-derived perfusion parameters in the macro-and microcirculation. The UPI time-dependent parameters had overall the lowest CVs in both the macro-and microcirculation. The volume-related parameters had poorer repeatability, especially in the microcirculation. Both intra-observer variability and inter-observer variability were low. Although UPI is a promising tool for the bedside measurement of cerebral perfusion, improvement of the technique is required before implementation in routine clinical practice.
