Oxygen extraction fraction (OEF) is considered to be an important indicator of cerebrovascular health. Accurate, non-invasive measurement of OEF has potential benefit for a number of clinical conditions, however currently positron emission tomography (PET) remains the gold standard. In this work we demonstrate the viability of a recently developed, susceptibility weighted imaging (SWI) technique for mapping OEF change in the brain. Through repeated phase imaging during both Propofol and Midazolam sedation and sedation recovery, a significant global reduction was measured during Midazolam sedation (p<0.018), demonstrating the sensitivity of the technique to moderate perturbation of OEF in the brain.
