This study proposed a new post-processing algorithm with preconditioning and physiological constraints for QSM based CMRO2 mapping, which eliminated physiologically impossible OEF values and improved the robustness of the technique. Reproducibility of the proposed method was examined. Feasibility of hyperventilation as a more efficient blood flow challenge was also investigated.
