    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To compare cortical gray matter oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) estimated from 2 MRI methods: (1) the quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) plus quantitative blood oxygen level dependent imaging (qBOLD) (QSM+qBOLD or QQ), and (2) the dual-gas calibrated-BOLD (DGCB) in healthy subjects; and to investigate the validity of iso-cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption assumption during hypercapnia using QQ. METHODS: In 10 healthy subjects, 3 tesla MRI including a multi-echo gradient echo sequence at baseline and hypercapnia for QQ, as well as an EPI dual-echo pseudo-continuous arterial spin labeling for DGCB, were performed under a hypercapnic and a hyperoxic condition. OEFs from QQ and DGCB were compared using region of interest analysis and paired t test. For QQ, cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption = cerebral blood flow*OEF*arterial oxygen content was generated for both baseline and hypercapnia, which were compared. RESULTS: Average OEF in cortical gray matter across 10 subjects from QQ versus DGCB was 35.5 ± 6.7% versus 38.0 ± 9.1% (P = .49) at baseline and 20.7 ± 4.4% versus 28.4 ± 7.6% (P = .02) in hypercapnia: OEF in cortical gray matter was significantly reduced as measured in QQ (P < .01) and in DGCB (P < .01). Cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption (in μmol O2 /min/100 g) was 168.2 ± 54.1 at baseline from DGCB and was 153.1 ± 33.8 at baseline and 126.4 ± 34.2 (P < .01) in hypercapnia from QQ. CONCLUSION: The differences in OEF obtained from QQ and DGCB are small and nonsignificant at baseline but are statistically significant during hypercapnia. In addition, QQ shows a cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen consumption decrease (17.4%) during hypercapnia.
