Relaxation and dephasing of water protons embedded in a vascular network is driven by local magnetic field inhomogeneities around deoxygenated blood vessels. These effects strongly depend on the relation between mean diffusion length and diameter of blood vessels, as well as on the chosen imaging sequence. In this work, the BOLD sensitivity of steady‐state sequences as a function of vessel size, field strength, and sequence parameters are analyzed.
