Abstract Analysis of post‐contraction MRI signal intensity (SI) transients may allow
noninvasive studies of microvascular reactivity and blood oxygenation recovery. The …

Purpose The objective of this study was to develop a new noncontrast method to directly
quantify regional skeletal muscle oxygenation. Methods The feasibility of the method was …

Blood and muscle T1 and T2 relaxivity was examined under normoxic (air; 20.8% O2) and
hyperoxic (100% O2) conditions to determine whether the oxygenation state of blood in the …

Background Noninvasive cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) techniques including
arterial spin labeling (ASL), blood oxygenation level-dependent (BOLD), and intravoxel …

The purpose of this work was to investigate the temporal relationship between intensity
changes in T2*‐weighted NMR images and tissue oxygen content, measured by myoglobin …

Tissue perfusion and oxygenation in many organs can be evaluated by various NMR
techniques. This review focuses on the specificities, limitations and adaptations of the NMR …

High‐resolution functional imaging experiments at 0.95 Tesla have been performed to
determine the changes in oxygen saturation in pial veins during motor activation by …

Purpose The aim of this study was to develop a measurement protocol for noninvasive
simultaneous perfusion quantification and T2*‐weighted MRI acquisition in the exercising …

The feasibility of noninvasively assessing hemoglobin oxygen saturation of deep blood
vessels in vivo by measuring blood T2* is investigated. Techniques for blood T2 …
