Abstract

Mapping cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to hypercapnia is important both clinically and for improved understanding of the haemodynamic properties of the BOLD effect. In this work BOLD/R2* CVR was investigated by using a device which provided small, repeatable and stable steps in PETCO2, whilst maintaining a steady PETO2 level. Significant CVR was observed in both grey and white matter at both 3 & 7T, whilst an approximately linear relationship found between R2* CVR and field strength has implications for BOLD models and calibration. Grey matter R2* CVR was 0.066±0.004 s-1 mmHg-1 at 3T and 0.141±0.008 s-1mmHg-1 at 7T. White matter R2* CVR was 0.021±0.003 s-1mmHg-1 at 3T and 0.040±0.007 s-1mmHg-1 at 7T.
