In calibrated fMRI the BOLD signal range from
deoxyhemoglobin to oxyhemoglobin is reflected by M.
Since blood oxygenation changes are captured with
relaxation rates by gradient echo (R2*) and spin echo
(R2), M is echo time multiplied by R2 (i.e., R2*- R2).
Because it is unclear if the M range reported in
calibrated fMRI studies is due to regional/state
differences, we tested M estimated from R2 in rat
brain. Homogenous M values were found in the cortex
regardless of the brain state. These results suggest
that a direct R2 mapping method may provide more
accurate M values for calibrated fMRI.
