Abstract:
Perfluorinated blood substitutes can be detected by 19F NMR in vivo in small concentrations. Reactive hyperemia was induced in rat leg by the transient application of a tourniquet, causing a 50% increase in 19F NMR signal. These results show that this method can be used to monitor the kinetics of tissue perfusion.
