Changes in oxygen concentration in the nasal cavity during a hyperoxic challenge cause a variation in the susceptibility gradient at the sinus-tissue interface. We found that this caused a measurable dipolar pattern of signal change in slices inferior to the corpus callosum along with more subtle changes in superior slices. This artefact will be
