Résumé
PURPOSE: To implement and characterize a fluorine-19 ((19)F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique and to test the hypothesis that the (19)F MRI signal in steady state after intravenous injection of a perfluoro-15-crown-5 ether (PCE) emulsion may be exploited for angiography in a pre-clinical in vivo animal study. MATERIALS AND METHODS: In vitro at 9.4T, the detection limit of the PCE emulsion at a scan time of 10 min/slice was determined, after which the T(1) and T(2) of PCE in venous blood were measured. Permission from the local animal use committee was obtained for all animal experiments. 12 µl/g of PCE emulsion was intravenously injected in 11 mice. Gradient echo (1)H and (19)F images were obtained at identical anatomical levels. Signal-to-noise (SNR) and contrast-to-noise (CNR) ratios were determined for 33 vessels in both the (19)F and (1)H images, which was followed by vessel tracking to determine the vessel conspicuity for both modalities. RESULTS: In vitro, the detection limit was ∼400 µM, while the (19)F T(1) and T(2) were 1350±40 and 25±2 ms. The (19)F MR angiograms selectively visualized the vasculature (and the liver parenchyma over time) while precisely coregistering with the (1)H images. Due to the lower SNR of (19)F compared to (1)H (17±8 vs. 83±49, p
