摘要
Quantification of brain oxygenation and metabolism,both of which are indicators of the level of brain activity,plays a vital role in understanding the cerebral perfusion and the pathophysiology of brain disorders.Magnetic resonance imaging(MRI),a widely used clinical imaging technique,which is very sensitive to magnetic susceptibility,has the possibility of substitut-ing positron emission tomography(PET)in measuring oxygen metabolism.This review mainly focuses on the quantitative blood oxygenation level-dependent(qBOLD)method for the evaluation of oxygen extraction fraction(OEF)in the brain.Here,we review the theoretic basis of qBOLD,as well as existing acquisition and quantification methods.Some published clinical studies are also presented,and the pros and cons of qBOLD method are discussed as well.
