## Abstract Techniques for the quantitative imaging assessment of cerebral blood flow are presented in a cat using ^19^F NMR imaging of trifluoromethane. The input function of the indicator was acquired noninvasively, while its uptake and clearance were followed in 2βcc volume voxels from images ac

## Abstract Cerebral blood flow was quantitatively mapped by monitoring the cerebral washout of H~2~ ^17^O using rapid, singleβshot proton NMR imaging. H~2~ ^17^O acts as a freely diffusible contrast agent for proton imaging via its scalarβcoupled term, enhancing __T__~2~ relaxation. Measured value
A new method for spatially resolved NMR flow measurements, named differential flow imaging (DFI), is introduced and experimentally verified. The DFI technique is based on the fact that flow velocity in any direction may cause a pixel position shift in the phase-encoding direction of a 2DFT NMR image
