Fast perfluorocarbon imaging using 19F U‐FLARE

The application of an ultra‐fast low angle RARE technique for the 19F imaging of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) used as temporary blood substitutes is described. This sequence is attractive for fast 19F imaging studies that measure the biodistribution of PFCs in vivo, due to its high signal‐to‐noise ratio. Extensions of this technique for the chemical shift selective measurement of fluorine T1 values are presented. Using the linear dependence between the oxygen partial pressure (pO2) and the T1 relaxation rate of PFC resonances this technique makes possible the fast in vivo measurement of oxygen tension. Using the sequence in a diffusion sensitized form 19F measurements of the diffusion constants of PFCs are also presented. Phantom experiments to test the methods, and in vivo images obtained in rat studies are given and discussed.
