Quantitative MR measurements sensitive to blood oxygenation (R2*, QUIXOTIC-R2) and perfusion (Q2TIPS-ASL) were calibrated by different respiratory stimuli and subsequent invasive micro probe measurements. We found reasonable consistency between MRI and micro probe measurements. However, adverse effects of anesthesia and trauma during micro probe insertion have to be solved in further experiments.
