Abstract
The chemical shifts of ^31^P and ^1^H in thulium 1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane‐1,4,7,10‐tetrakis(methylene phosphonate) (TmDOTP^5−^) are approximately two orders of magnitude more sensitive to temperature than are water proton and ^19^F shifts. In the physiologically relevant pH range, the ^31^P and ^1^H chemical shifts of TmDOTP^5−^ are linear functions of temperature between 25 and 47°C. The results indicate that using TmDOTP^5−^ can provide measurements of temperature in vivo that are significantly more accurate than methods based on water and fluorocarbon chemical shifts.

Current methods for estimating the rate of cerebral glucose utilization (CMR(glc)) typically measure metabolic activity for 40 min or longer subsequent to administration of [(13)C]glucose, 2-[(14)C]deoxyglucose, or 2-[(18)F]deoxyglucose. We report preliminary findings on estimating CMR(glc) for a pe
