Keywords: Stroke, OxygenationMulti-parametric quantitative BOLD (Mq-BOLD), a biophysical model-based technology, has shown promising results for measuring brain oxygenation in healthy subjects. Our purpose is to explore Mq-BOLD in evaluating the changes of oxygen metabolism in early stage of acute ischemic stroke. There is compensatory elevated oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) in the hypoperfused tissue, but decreased cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) present in the central part of the infarct core. These alternative biomarkers may provide intuitive diagnostic information of ischemic penumbra in stroke. Moreover, Mq-BOLD only depends on standard clinical imaging protocols, which has a great potential for future routine application.
