Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) of the fluorine nucleus is an in vivo method to measure non-invasively oxygen pressures. The measurement is based on the effect that the longitudinal relaxation rate (R1 = 1/T1) increases linearly with the partial oxygen pressure (pO2) when the temperature is kept constant [1,2]:
The calibration constants A and B depend strongly on temperature, magnetic field strength, the fluorinated subtances, the resonance line used for imaging, and on the tissue type
