| Research Abstract |
The effects of arterial pressure of oxygen(PaO2)on MRI T2* signal intensity, R1, and cerebral blood flow(CBF)were investigated to know if inhaled oxygen can be an MR contrast agent as a metabolic biosensor. The result showed that it is possible to measure changes in oxygen partial pressure of arterial blood and brain tissue noninvasively by measuring the change in longitudinal relaxation time. In addition, we found the possibility of estimating the amount of tissue oxygen metabolism by measuring simultaneously the end-tidal partial pressures of expired oxygen, the changes in the cerebral blood flow, and the changes in magnetic susceptibility effect.
