Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) represents an important
parameter of brain metabolism. The purposes of this
study are, to establish OEF measurements using
quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), and to
compare QSM-OEF with the gold standard PET-OEF in
patients with unilateral chronic steno-occlusive
disease. QSM-OEF value in the affected hemisphere was
significantly higher than the contralateral hemisphere.
Good correlation of OEF ratio between QSM-OEF and PET-OEF
was observed, and the sensitivity and specificity for
the detection of increased OEF by QSM was 0.80 and 0.90,
respectively.
