Regional cerebrovascular reactivity (CVR) to CO2 is
increasingly measured with BOLD and ASL MRI. The data
processing is based on the assumption of a linear
relationship between BOLD/CBF and CO2. However, we show
that the BOLD CO2 reactivity curve has a sigmoidal
shape, but the CBF-CO2 relationship is linear in the CO2
range of 3 kPa to 8 kPa. These findings underline a
cautious approach to interpreting the CO2 CVR data
measured with BOLD and support the conclusion that CBF
is a more robust tool for CO2 CVR measurements.
