Purpose: To quantify total and regional cerebral blood
flow (CBF) in humans to hypoxia and cyclooxygenase
inhibition (Indomethacin). Methods: After baseline scans
(4D flow MRI), subjects breathed 10% oxygen to reduce
arterial saturation (~83%). Hypoxia duration was 10
minutes with 4D PC VIPR scan from min 5-10. Results:
Segmentation quality of angiograms was excellent. CBF
increased with hypoxia; the increase was 3x greater in
women. Indomethacin reduced or increased CBF in a sex
and artery specific manner. Summary: 4D flow MRI can
quantify CBF in the entire cerebrovascular system and
with high spatial resolution and physiologic functional
data.
