Cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) mapping is a useful technique for stress testing the brain. However, clinical adoption of CVR mapping has so far been hindered by relatively long scan durations of 7-12mins. In this study we show that by using a sinusoidal carbon dioxide stimulus in place of a conventional block protocol, equivalent CVR maps can be produced in a much shorter scan duration of 3-5mins.
