An oxygen-17 (¹⁷O) MRI method combining 3D golden-means-based radial sampling with model-based parameter mapping was developed for non-invasive measurement of cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO₂) after inhalation of ¹⁷O-oxygen (¹⁷O₂). The method enabled quantification of CMRO₂ in post-stroke mouse brain with a nominal isotropic spatial resolution of 1.6 mm. CMRO₂ was 1.5 to 2.5 μmol/g/min in the normal tissue, and was ~1 μmol/g/min in the infarct region.
