| Research Abstract |
This study is aimed to develop the 3D mapping technique of Overhauser-enhanced MRI (OMRI), which provides non-invasively both redox status and oxygen with high-resolution, and MRI and to apply it to the mechanism analysis for gastrointestinal diseases. The algorithms for oxygen image and its superimposition with redox image were verified using a phantom. However, it was needed to improve the time-resolution of OMRI to obtain 3D information with adequate accuracy. It was founded that inflammatorysignal pathways and the downstream redox change expanded from the rectum toward the whole large intestine during the development of dextran sodium sulfate-induced colitis in mice. In near future, the improvement of accuracy precision of redox status and oxygen concentration would be expected if the performance upgrade of OMRI is achieved.
