Using a turbo spin echo version of QUIXOTIC we measure
changes in oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) in the
visual cortex at baseline and during visual stimulation
in a fraction of the time required by the original
QUIXOTIC technique. The measured baseline and relative
change in oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) compares
favorably to literature values and suggests that with
further validation tQUIXOTIC MRI may be useful to
monitor regional OEF in the clinic.
