โฆ Synopsis
We report a method of dynamically measuring coronary blood flow in lambs, while simultaneously monitoring cardiac phosphate metabolism with 31P NMR at 81 MHz. This method uses an ultrasonic transit time probe in conjunction with a 4.7-T CSI spectrometer with a 33-cm magnet bore.

The principal aim of these studies was to evaluate the utility of isoflurane and halothane for NMR investigations of tumor physiology. In vivo 31P and 2H NMR were used to examine RIF-1 tumors before, during, and (for 31P) after anesthesia. In tumors, halothane decreases blood flow, [PCR]:[NTP], and
