Outline of Final Research Achievements

T1 shortening effect due to oxygen inhalation was studied in order to develop oxygen-enhanced MR imaging for cerebral vessels and cerebrospinal fluid. Dynamic signal change in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) space was demonstrated at 3 tesla MRI. The signal in the subarachnoid space was more rapidly and more strongly observed than that in the ventricles. Our results suggested the soluble oxygen might diffuse directly into CSF space without entering choroid plexus, however it has been originally thought that choroid plexus is the only organ which produce CSF.
