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, and the corresponding global CBF values ranged from 25 to 125 ml‐100 g^βˆ’1^min^βˆ’1^. Regional CBF was measured in a 1‐cm axial section of cat brain using intracarotid deuterated saline and gradient‐echo ^2^H NMR imaging. Blood flow images with a maximum pixel resolution of 0.3 Γ— 0.3 Γ— 1.0 cm were generated from the deuterium signal washout at each pixel. Image derived values for CBF agreed well with other determinations, and decreased significantly with hypocapnia. Β© 1990 Academic Press, Inc.

## 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~.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) has been applied to study rat focal brain activation induced by intravenous administration of the GABA(A) antagonist bicuculline. Using magnetite nanoparticles as a blood pool contrast agent, local changes in cerebral blood volume (CBV) were assessed with
