Assessment of cerebral oxidative metabolism with breath holding and fMRI.

چکیده
Carbon dioxide inhalation can be used to map changes in cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO(2)) during neuronal activation with functional MRI (fMRI). A hypercapnic stress also can be achieved with a simple breath-holding test. Using this test as means of manipulating cerebral blood flow (CBF) independent of CMRO(2), we assessed changes in CMRO(2) during visual stimulation. With this task, CBF increased by 61 +/- 7%, whereas CMRO(2) changed by 2.43 +/- 4.97%. These results are in good agreement with previous positron emission tomographic (PET) data, indicating that changes in oxidative metabolism during focal neuronal activity can potentially be determined with the breath-holding test. This test could easily be performed during a routine MRI examination. Magn Reson Med 42:608-611, 1999.

Assessment of the cerebral vasomotor reactivity in internal carotid artery occlusion using a transcranial Doppler sonography and functional MRI.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Several methods are being used to assess cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVR), including transcranial Doppler (TCD) sonography and blood oxygenation level-dependent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The aim was to assess the correlation of TCD and fMRI in the CVR assessment. METHODS Study group consisted of 28 patients (24 males, 4 females; aged 30-82, mean 6...
متن کاملFunctional magnetic resonance imaging of regional cerebral blood oxygenation changes during breath holding.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Recently, noninvasive MRI methods have been developed that are now capable of detecting and mapping regional hemodynamic responses to various stress tests, which involve the use of vasoactive substances such as acetazolamide or inhalation of carbon dioxide. The aim of this study was to assess regional cerebral blood oxygenation changes during breath holding at 1.5 T. ME...
متن کاملHemodynamic changes after visual stimulation and breath holding provide evidence for an uncoupling of cerebral blood flow and volume from oxygen metabolism.
Functional neuroimaging is most commonly performed using the blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) approach, which is sensitive to changes in cerebral blood flow (CBF), cerebral blood volume (CBV), and the cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO(2)). However, the precise mechanism by which neuronal activity elicits a hemodynamic response remains controversial. Here, visual stimulation (14 se...
متن کاملHemodynamic responses following brief breath-holding and visual stimulation reconcile the vascular compliance and sustained oxygen metabolism origins for the BOLD post-stimulus undershoot in human brain
Introduction: The well-known BOLD post-stimulus undershoot has been attributed to two possible origins: (i) delayed vascular compliance based on delayed cerebral blood volume (CBV) recovery (1,2) or undershoot in cerebral blood flow (CBF) (3) with recovery of oxygen metabolism; (ii) sustained oxygen metabolism with speedy CBV and CBF recovery after stimulus cessation (4,5). Recently, high-resol...
متن کاملCerebral vasomotor reactivity assessment using Transcranial Doppler and MRI with apnea test
Differently from previous studies that used Transcranial Doppler (TCD) and functional MRI (fMRI) for cerebral vasomotor reactivity (CVR) assessment in patients with carotid stenosis (CS), we assessed CVR using an identical stimulus, the Breath-Holding Test (BHT). We included 15 patients with CS and 7 age-matched controls to verify whether fMRI responded differently to BHT between groups and to ...
