Calibrated BOLD might be a powerful alternative to classic functional MRI techniques especially as CMRO2 has been found to be more spatially specific when mapping cerebral functional activation compared to BOLD. However, the application of calibrated BOLD at ultra-high field strengths and in combination with more complex cognitive study designs might have been inhibited by the limited knowledge about stability. This study provides evidence that CMRO2 is a reliable biomarker for cognitive studies even when used at ultra-high magnetic fields. The calibrated BOLD technique might be a viable alternative to classic BOLD approaches.
