Research Abstract |
In vivo oxidation-reduction(redox) state changed in various diseases, such as a lifestyle-related disease. In this research, imaging apparatus of in vivo redox status for large-sized animal was developed. The developed Overhauser enhanced MRI system has more than 20 cm of effective volume and the OMRI performance was examined both in phantom objects and laboratory animals. MRI signal map of the developed system is homogeneous over 20 cm area, showing the system is useful for large-sized objects.
