This study aims to determine the accuracy of oxygen
extraction fraction (OEF) maps generated from
quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) at 7T. We
compared relative OEF values of the affected cerebral
hemisphere against the contralateral hemisphere between
QSM and PET in patients with chronic unilateral internal
carotid artery or middle cerebral artery
stenosis/occlusion. Relative QSM-OEF values showed
excellent agreements with the corresponding PET-OEF
values. Therefore, OEF measurement using QSM at 7T is
considered comparable to that using PET and can be
applied for the assessment of patients with
steno-occlusive cerebrovascular diseases.
