A simple non-invasive method is presented for the mapping of functional cerebral capillary blood volume. Functional capillary blood volume is a potentially powerful biomarker that is highly correlated with the average rate of glucose metabolism in the tissue. In-vivo maps of capillary blood volume are shown to be highly correlated with resting CBF in healthy volunteers and can be easily acquired within a few minutes with standard MR imaging sequences.
