Moyamoya disease is characterized by Moyamoya vessels near the stenosis regions induced by progressive stenosis of the internal carotid artery, cerebral artery. CVR and OEF are critical indicators of the severity in Moyamoya disease. In this research, blood oxygenation level dependence (BOLD) functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) of carbogen inhalation and hand grasping are adapted as challenge tasks to probe CVR and OEF in Moyamoya disease.
