Note that as long as there is a reference image acquired without the inversion pulse, but with the identical readout, the T1-related signal changes can be separated from T2*-related signal changes to ultimately extract CBV signal traces without BOLD contaminations. This BOLD correction is based on a dynamic division analysis under the assumption that, at 7T, the GE-BOLD effect is dominated by extravascular T2*-changes, as previously validated in (Huber et al. 2014a).
