Comparison between dual-gas challenge calibrated-BOLD and QSM+qBOLD (QQ) model provided similar OEF and CMRO2 in healthy subjects. QQ does not require a gas challenge, and reveal 14% CMRO2 decrease with hypercapnia compared to baseline.
Baseline OEF, CBF, CMRO2 maps between DGC and QQ in two healthy subjects. QQ CBF map is obtained by registering DGC CBF map to QSM resolution. QQ showed less inter-subject variation in OEF.
OEF, CBF, CMRO2 from QQ between baseline (BL) and hypercapnia (HC) in two healthy subjects. Compared to BL, HC shows lower OEF, higher CBF, slightly lower CRMO2.
