✦ Synopsis

A fast method for quantitative NMR imaging of flow velocities in intact plants is described. The purpose of this method is to observe dynamic changes of flow velocity in the xylem of plants after fast changes of environmental conditions. The spatial image resolution is 47 ؋ 188 m 2 in-plane. The method applies a fast gradient echo sequence (FLASH). Compared to other flow NMR imaging sequences, the imaging time was reduced by a factor of 6 with comparable signal-to-noise ratio. A complete flow measurement consists of a set of 8 different flow weighted images with a total acquisition time of 3.5 min.

Rapid FLASH (fast low angle shot) NMR images are very sensitive to flow phenomena. In particular, a steady reflow of unsaturated spins from outside the imaging plane results in high image intensities which depend on the flip angle, the repetition time, and the flow velocity.

## Abstract Cerebral blood flow (CBF) was measured in cat brain __in vivo__ at 2.7 T using ^2^H NMR to monitor the washout of deuterated saline injected into both carotid arteries via the lingual arteries. In anesthetized cats, global CBF varied directly with __P__aCO~2~ over a range of 20‐50 mm Hg

## Abstract We used ^17^O NMR imaging techniques to measure the H~2~^17^O concentration in a 0.8‐ml voxel in the cat brain following injection of an arterial bolus of enriched H~2~^17^O and during inhalation of enriched ^17^O~2~. We also measured the H~2~^17^O concentration in arterial blood during
