Existing studies have reported various results regarding CMRO₂ behaviors during hypoxia. In this study, a simultaneous acquisition of CBV, CBF and BOLD signals was implemented to evaluate task-induced δCMRO₂ under both normoxia and hypoxia conditions. Of 40 subjects who completed two runs of block-designed, black-and-white checkerboard visual tasks (normoxia and hypoxia) and a CO₂ challenge, we found δCMRO₂ increase significantly during hypoxia. We reckon that the simultaneous acquisition technique makes it possible for all necessary data to be acquired in one run of task, thus minimizing motion and physiological artifacts caused by separate data acquisitions through task repetitions.
