In vivo NMR imaging of deuterium
Description
D20 is used as a contrast agent for studying anatomical images and flow in vivo by deuterium NMR. A deuterium image of the head of a living rat after administration of D20 (5% v/v) in the drinking water is shown. It was obtained in 14 min with a surface coil and has a spatial resolution of about one millimeter. The application of D20 as a tracer is discussed and the inflow of heavy water into the brain of a rat is recorded in a time series of deuterium images. Spatially resolved inflow time constants have been determined. (author)
