Traditionally calibrated BOLD is used to measure the
maximum BOLD signal change (M) allowing measurement of
relative CMRO
2
changes
with task. Here an extension of the dual calibrated FMRI
methodology is presented which allows regional estimates
of absolute CMRO
2
to
be made. Asymmetric Spin Echo (ASE) is used to calculate
maximum BOLD signal change (M) through the measurement
of R
2
'. This is then used in a hyperoxic
calibrated BOLD experiment allowing the measurement of S
v
O
2
and
calculation of absolute CMRO
2
using
Ficks principle.
