Abstract

MR methods have been proposed to estimate blood oxygen saturation in cerebral tissues by exploiting the magnetic susceptibility difference between oxy and deoxyhemoglobin. These models neglect the contribution of extravascular susceptibility sources leading to inaccurate measurements. Recent approaches combined quantitative BOLD and QSM methods, but these models neglected the impact of the geometr…
