Quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM) is
advantageous over R2* for determining deoxyhemoglobin
concentration from gradient echo MRI data. QSM can be
used for quantitative CMRO2 mapping using pre- and post-
caffeine challenge, a procedure much simpler than that
required by R2*. In general, CMRO2 is sensitive to the
poor SNR inherent in MRI based deoxyhemoglobin
measurements. One of the noise consequence is to cause
the estimated OEF exceed its physiological range. To
overcome this limitation, we propose to solve for CMRO2
by constraining OEF within its physiological limit.
