Cerebrovascular reactivity in the normal-appearing white
matter was assessed by using the BOLD MRI signal in
response to a consistently applied step change in the
arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide. We examined
quatitative T2, diffusion, and perfusion maps in the
white matter and found subtle abnormalities in these
metrics that were associated with impaired
cerebrovascular reactivity.
