Excerpt

Dependence of blood T2 on O2 saturation has led to non-invasive MRI-based techniques for determining venous O2 saturation (SvO2) [1-3]. However, applying a general calibration factor derived from in vitro experiments can lead to inaccurate and largely varying SvO2 estimates in the target population. We aim to show that based on the Luz-Meiboom relation 1/T2 = 1/T2o + Hct(1-Hct) τex[(1-%SO2/100)αω0]2(1-2*τex180 tanh(τ180/2*τex))[4], individual SvO2 can be determined from multiple T2 maps, each acquired at a specific inter-echo spacing (τ180). …
