Evaluation of cerebral metabolic rate of oxygen (CMRO2) in neonates has been hampered due to the invasiveness of the available techniques. Here we propose a technique which enables non-invasive assessment of global CMRO2 in this population. Initial results are promising as we were able to show a decreased CMRO2 in infants diagnosed with asphyxia.
