Ischemia and reperfusion in skeletal muscle were studied by BOLD-MRI. In this work, we fitted the EPI time courses of the hyperemic response to ischemia, using similar a function as in DCE-MRI. Several parameters which describe hyperemia were determined from the fit results. Significant differences between muscle groups and the impact of post-occlusive stenosis could be shown.
