Hyperpolarized (129)Xe dissolved in a lipid emulsion constitutes an NMR tracer that can be injected into the blood stream, enabling blood-flow measurement and perfusion imaging. A small volume (0.15 ml) of this tracer was injected in 1.5 s in rat carotid and (129)Xe MR spectra and images were acquired at 2.35 T to evaluate the potential of this approach for cerebral studies. Xenon spectra consistently showed two resonances, at 194.5 ppm and 199.0 ppm relative to the gas peak. The signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) obtained for the two peaks was sufficient (ranging from 12 to 90) to follow their time courses. 2D transverse-projection xenon images were obtained with an in-plane resolution of 900 microm per pixel (SNR range 8-15). Histological analysis revealed no brain damage except in two rats that had received three injections.
溶解于脂质乳剂中的超极化(129)Xe构成一种核磁共振示踪剂,可注入血流中,用于测量血流量和进行灌注成像。将一小体积(0.15毫升)的这种示踪剂在1.5秒内注入大鼠颈动脉,并在2.35特斯拉的磁场强度下采集(129)Xe磁共振谱和图像,以评估这种方法用于脑部研究的潜力。氙谱始终显示出相对于气体峰在194.5 ppm和199.0 ppm处的两个共振峰。这两个峰获得的信噪比(SNR)足够高(范围为12至90),足以跟踪它们随时间的变化过程。获得了二维横向投影氙图像,其平面分辨率为每像素900微米(SNR范围为8至15)。组织学分析显示,除了两只接受了三次注射的大鼠外,没有发现脑损伤。
