## 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
Perfluorocarbon (PFC) emulsions have been developed as oxygen carrying blood substitutes. High fluorine concentrations allow them to be used in 19F NMR imaging of blood vessels. Furthermore, 19F relaxation times in PFCs are dependent on oxygen tension (pO2) so that NMR imaging may provide a noninvas
This work demonstrates the feasibility of generating fluorine NMR images at a very low magnetic field of 0.015 T by making use of the Overhauser enhancement of (19)F NMR signal brought about by a stable, water-soluble, narrow-line paramagnetic contrast agent. The enhancement in the (19)F NMR images
