This study demonstrated tissue oxygen extraction change in patients with sickle cell disease after Acetazolamide injection using Asymmetric Spin Echo technique, and compared with global oxygen extraction change revealed by TRUST. The results suggested that global oxygen extraction decreased as blood flow increased, while tissue oxygen extraction remained stable. And this mismatch might be a proof to the existence of "physiological shunting".
