## Abstract We used ^17^O NMR imaging techniques to measure the H~2~^17^O concentration in a 0.8βml 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

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 20β50 mm Hg, and the corresponding global CBF values ranged from 25 to 125 mlβ100 g^β1^min^β1^. Regional CBF was measured in a 1βcm axial section of cat brain using intracarotid deuterated saline and gradientβecho ^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.
