✦ Synopsis

The application of an improved imaging sequence for i9F NMR imaging in perlhtorotributylamine is discussed and the results of phantom studies are reported. Frequency-selective excitation by a l-3-3-1 hard pulse sequence and a short echo time are used to increase the signal-to-noise ratio. In this way the influence of strong homonuclear spin coupling as well as flow and diffusion effects are reduced.

## Abstract The application of an ultra‐fast low angle RARE technique for the ^19^F imaging of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) used as temporary blood substitutes is described. This sequence is attractive for fast ^19^F imaging studies that measure the biodistribution of PFCs __in vivo__, due to its high s

Perfluorinated blood substitutes can be detected by I9F NMR in vivo in small concentrations. Reactive hyperemia was induced in rat leg by the transient application of a tourniquet, causing a 50% increase in I9F NMR signal. These results show that this method can be used to monitor the kinetics of ti

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

Images of the rat head reflecting glucose utilization were obtained using 2-fluoro-2-deoxy-D-glucose (2-FDG) and 19F nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. Spatial heterogeneity of glucose utilization in the rat head was clearly demonstrated showing significantly higher glucose utilization in the
