✦ Synopsis
Abstract
A novel noninvasive method of measuring local myocardial oxygen tension (pO~2~) In the perfused rat heart using ^19^F MRI is demonstrated. Tissue pO~2~ was determined on the basis of the ^19^F spin‐lattice relaxation rate (R1) of perflubron (perfluorooctyl bromide) sequestered in the heart after IV infusion of an emulsion. Spectroscopic measurement of R1 was previously used to measure a global weighted average of oxygen status. ^19^F MRI now provides 3D spatial resolution indicating local cardiac pO~2~ under normally perfused, globally ischemic, and regionally ischemic conditions.

## Abstract The authors used fluorine‐19 inversion‐recovery (IR) echo‐planar imaging (EPI) to map oxygen tension on the basis of the spin‐lattice relaxation rate (R1) of sequestered perfluorocarbon. R1 measured with IR‐EPI varied as a linear function of oxygen tension and temperature, and the relat
## Abstract This work examines the variation with oxygen tension (__p__O~2~) of the individual spin‐lattice relaxation times (T~I~) of the ^19^F resonances of the perfluorocarbon emulsion Oxy‐pherol‐ET (FC‐43). A linear relationship between 1/T~1~ and __p__O~2~ has been confirmed for all four reson
