Previous studies have demonstrated noninvasive
cardiac chamber blood oxygenation measurement using T2 and QSM. This work compares the two approaches for such measurements in healthy volunteers. The results showed that T2 and QSM measurements
have reasonable linear correlation.

between T2 based $$${\Delta}SaO_2$$$ and QSM
based $$${\Delta}SaO_2$$$ with good correlation. Bland Altman plots shows a small
bias between the two methods for measuring $$${\Delta}SaO_2$$$.
