Table 1. Time-to-peak and valley for different duration breath holds.

  5 seconds 10 seconds 15 seconds 20 seconds 25 seconds
Time-to-peak 8.6±0.9 7.6±1.0 7.7±1.2 7.4±1.2 6.9±1.0
Time-to-valley 8.3±1.2 11.7±1.2 11.9±1.6 10.8±1.8 10.5±1.6

Time-to-peak and time-to-valley in seconds for different duration breath holds with a 30mm Hg target intrathoracic pressure. To normalize for different duration breath holds, time-to-peaks are the time from the end of each breath hold, while time-to-valleys are from the start of each breath hold. Values are mean±standard deviation values across subjects for voxels within the cortical gray-matter ROI.
