It is believed that the delivery and consumption of oxygen have an important role in the pathogenesis of conditions such as Alzheimers Disease (AD), rising the pertinence of developing technologies that provide such information. We demonstrate here the potential of the MRI method introduced in our team, dubbed QUO2, for characterizing age-related differences in cerebral physiology, more precisely in resting CBF, CVR, M, OEF and CMRO2. In the next step, we will use our protocol to evaluate the level of discrepancy between individuals diagnosed with AD and age-matched controls.
