Resting perfusion measures in patients with steno-occlusive disease; comparing two contrast agents Gadolinium and hypoxia-induced dOHb

Dynamic susceptibility contrast perfusion imaging is clinically acquired using Gadolinium based contrast agents (GBCA), however, there remain many drawbacks. We show that in patients with steno-occlusive disease perfusion imaging using hypoxia-induced dOHb have a high degree of similarity to those obtained using GBCA.
