Repeatability of amide proton transfer-weighted signals in the brain according to clinical condition and anatomical location.

• In supratentorial locations, APTw MRI showed excellent intrasession and intersession repeatability in brains of healthy controls and patients with glioma, as well as in stroke-affected regions. • APTw MRI showed excellent repeatability in supratentorial locations, but poor repeatability in infratentorial locations. • Considering poor repeatability in the infratentorial locations, the use of APTw MRI in longitudinal assessment in infratentorial locations is not indicated.
