In calibrated fMRI the power-law relationship between
the BOLD signal with blood flow and oxygen consumption
is quantified by the parameter β. The frequently used β
value of 1.5 comes from simulation results. To make
calibrated fMRI independent of assumptions and hence
applicable for clinical settings, we developed a method
for β mapping by measuring R2, the most sensitive
relaxation component of BOLD signal, as a function of
intravascular susceptibility weighting. Since we
measured lower β values in cortex than previously
assumed and observed β heterogeneities across other
regions, there is need for reevaluation of physiological
parameters for calibrated fMRI.
