Brain oxygen saturation is a key parameter for assessing oxygen supply, metabolism and tissue viability. Near infrared spectroscopy is a widely used technique to measure brain tissue oxygen saturation. However, this technique cannot be used to measures brain tissue oxygenation in deep brain structures and could be contaminated by changes in extracranial tissue oxygenation. Susceptibility weighted image mapping generates susceptibility maps which can be used to measure oxygen saturation in local venous structures in the brain. This study compared measurements of brain oxygen saturation using susceptibility mapping and near infrared spectroscopy in normal healthy subjects.
