Cerebral Blood Flow Measurement Using fMRI and PET: A Cross-Validation Study

Table 2

FAIR and PET CBF percent changes averaged over all subjects (mean ±std), for all conditions (baseline, 4 levels of visual checkboard (CHB) stimulation, and hypercapnia (HC)), in the V1, t-map, and GM ROIs. For PET, the baseline percent change was fixed at 0%, since only one baseline volume was acquired.
