Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) represents an important parameter of brain metabolism. The purposes of this study are, to establish OEF measurements using quantitative susceptibility mapping (QSM), and to compare QSM-OEF with the gold standard PET-OEF in patients with unilateral chronic steno-occlusive disease. QSM-OEF value in the affected hemisphere was significantly higher than the contralateral hemisphere. Good correlation of OEF ratio between QSM-OEF and PET-OEF was observed, and the sensitivity and specificity for the detection of increased OEF by QSM was 0.80 and 0.90, respectively.
