Table 3.
Here we present the zero lag correlation (Pearson’s) coefficients for the six comparisons between HbX and fMRI for study II
| Subject | HbO:ASL | HbT:ASL | HbR:ASL |
|---|---|---|---|
| F | 0.74 (3 × 10−06) | 0.81 (6 × 10−08) | −0.15 (4 × 10−01) |
| G | 0.95 (1 × 10−15) | 0.98 (1 × 10−22) | 0.71 (1 × 10−05) |
| H | 0.90 (2 × 10−11) | 0.92 (4 × 10−13) | −0.15 (4 × 10−01) |
| I | 0.93 (8 × 10−14) | 0.89 (4 × 10−11) | 0.30 (1 × 10−01) |
| J | 0.50 (5 × 10−03) | 0.64 (2 × 10−03) | 0.19 (4 × 10−01) |
| ALL | 0.83 (1 × 10−08) | 0.91 (4 × 10−12) | 0.13 (5 × 10−01) |
| HbO:1/BOLD | HbT:1/BOLD | HbR:1/BOLD | |
| F | 0.80 (1 × 10−07) | 0.55 (2 × 10−03) | 0.75 (2 × 10−06) |
| G | 0.63 (2 × 10−04) | 0.55 (2 × 10−03) | 0.78 (6 × 10−07) |
| H | 0.14 (5 × 10−01) | 0.05 (8 × 10−01) | 0.57 (6 × 10−04) |
| I | 0.50 (5 × 10−03) | −0.10 (6 × 10−01) | 0.91 (4 × 10−12) |
| J | 0.25 (2 × 10−01) | 0.49 (6 × 10−03) | 0.59 (6 × 10−04) |
| ALL | 0.62 (3 × 10−04) | 0.30 (1 × 10−01) | 0.80 (9 × 10−08) |
The values in parentheses are the P values for each coefficient. For all calculations, the window of 0 –15 s was used. The correlations for the group-averaged responses show a significantly better correlation between the HbT:ASL responses compared to the HbO:ASL or HbR:ASL responses. As was seen in study I, the BOLD:HbR correlations were also much more statistically significant then the other two hemoglobin measures.
