Purpose: To determine the contribution of paramagnetic dissolved oxygen in blood plasma to blood-oxygenation-level-dependent (BOLD) signal changes in hyperoxic calibrated BOLD studies.Methods: Bovine blood plasma samples were prepared with partial pressures of oxygen (pO(2)) ranging from 110 to 600 mmHg. R-1, R-2, and R-2* of the plasma with dissolved oxygen were measured using quantitative MRI sequences at 3 Tesla. Simulations were performed to predict the relative effects of dissolved oxygen and deoxyhemoglobin changes in hyperoxia calibrated BOLD.Results: The relaxivities of dissolved oxygen in plasma were found to be r(1, O2) = 1.97 +/- 0.09 x 10(-4) s(-1) mmHg(-1), r(2, O2) = 2.3 +/- 0.7 x 10(-4) s(-1) mmHg(-1), and r(2, O2)* = 2.3 +/- 0.7 x 10(-4) s(-1) mmHg(-1). Simulations predict that neither the transverse nor longitudinal relaxation rates of dissolved oxygen contribute significantly to the BOLD signal during hyperoxia.Conclusion: During hyperoxia, the increases in R-2 and R-2* of blood from dissolved oxygen in plasma are considerably less than the decreases in R-2 and R-2* from venous deoxyhemoglobin. R-1 effects due to dissolved oxygen are also predicted to be negligible. As a result, dissolved oxygen in arteries should not contribute significantly to the hyperoxic calibrated BOLD signal.
