In this work we derive a de novo T_2b oximetry calibration curve for hemaglobin S containing red blood cells. We then compare predictions made by this calibration and existing T_2b calibrations in 84 subjects in vivo using TRUST MRI. We found that predictions for venous oxygenation saturation and cerebral metabolic rate are widely different depending on the T_2b calibration used for oximetry conversion.
