Recently, the total cerebral blood flow (tCBF) and venous oxygen saturation (SvO2) levels are measured noninvasively with the MRI approaches to quantify the global cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2). In this research, the ROI analysis with the cardiac gating sequence is applied in healthy subjects to demonstrate the impact of fluctuated tCBF induced by cardiac pulsation on the global CMRO2 measurement.
