Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) is an important
indicator of the oxygen metabolism in the brain.
Currently there are two approaches to measure or map OEF
in the brain using MRI; one approach uses the T2 of
venous blood, while the other uses the magnetic
susceptibility difference between tissue and blood. We
introduce a novel OEF estimation method using the joint
information of T2 and the magnetic susceptibility
difference of blood signal, and present voxel-wise CMRO2
mapping in conjunction with CBF measured with an
arterial spin labeling method. A breath-hold paradigm
was performed to test the feasibility of the algorithm.
