Under physiologic conditions the stable isotope oxygen-17, in the form of O-17 water, lowers the proton T2 of blood, CSF, tissues, and whole organisms. With MRI the resulting changes in intensity can be detected using spin-echo pulse sequences, but much greater sensitivity is achieved in a fraction of the time with a steady-state free precession sequence such as FISP. With this sequence it is possible to detect levels as low as 0.4% Oxygen-17 water in 53 seconds or less.
在生理条件下,稳定同位素氧-17以O-17水的形式降低血液、脑脊液、组织和整个生物体的质子T2。使用磁共振成像(MRI)时,通过自旋回波脉冲序列可以检测到强度的变化,但使用诸如快速成像稳态进动序列(FISP)等稳态自由进动序列,在更短的时间内可获得更高的灵敏度。使用该序列,有可能在53秒或更短时间内检测到低至0.4%的氧-17水含量。
