The blood flow waveforms of one cardiac cycle were recorded using cine PCMRI in different hypercapnia condition (0~7% CO2). Vasomotor reactivity (VMR) is an increased percentage change of cerebral perfusion for hypercapnia to normocapnia. Four types of VMR were defined in this study, VMRsys-flow, VMRmean-flow, VMRdia-flow and VMRstr-volume computed by systolic blood flow, mean blood flow, diastolic blood flow and stroke volume, respectively. Although the physiological interpretation of VMR is different between blood volume and flow, our result demonstrated the VMRstr-volume is closer to VMRmean-flow under different CO2 induced hypercapnia comparing with other two blood flow VMR indexes.
