## Abstract Proton __T__~2~ relaxation times of cerebral water and metabolites were measured before, during, and after transient forebrain ischemia in rat at 9.4 T using localized proton magnetic resonance spectroscopy (^1^H‐MRS) with Hahn echoes formed at different echo times (TEs). It was found t

Abstract
The gerbil model of unilateral cerebral ischemia has been used to test the temporal and spatial stability of the MRI T~2~ effects of oxygen‐17 water. Following unilateral carotid ligation, symptomatic animals were given a single large intraperitoneal injection of H~2~ ^17^O and the distribution and stability of the brain T~2~ effects were followed with a spin‐echo sequence. In contrast to the ischemic areas, the perfused tissue shows a marked and prolonged loss in intensity with little evidence of diffusion of the T~2~ effect of ^17^O into the ischemic tissue. © 1991 Academic Press, Inc.

## Abstract A two‐dimensional __T__~2~\*‐weighted gradient‐echo sequence was used to image the rat brain before and during graded hypoxemia. Changes in __R__~2~\* (δ__R__~2~\*) with respect to the control state were calculated for brain parenchyma and were compared with changes in hemoglobin satura
