Reliability, the coefficients of variation (CV) or the relative technical error of cerebral vessel internal diameter measurements (rTEM) and the technical error of measurements (TEM) are presented. Reliability is the correlation among the first measurements and the second measurements taken from the same artery, n = 10.
