| Research Abstract |
Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imagingcombined with nitroxides is a powerful, noninvasive method for visualizing the redox status modulated by oxidative stress in vivo. However, to date, it has not always been possible to obtain three-dimensional (3D) images with a continuous wave (CW)-EPR imager in small rodents while using nitroxides. Due to improvements in imagers that enable rapid data-acquisition, the feasibility of 3D EPR imaging with good quality in mice was tested with nitroxides of different lipophilicities. Using thisimproved EPR imager,multiple molecular imaging studies were carried out in vivo.
