    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Biophysics

    Background:

    • Fluorine-19 (19F) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) presents unique advantages for visualizing biological tissues.
    • 19F compounds can be synthesized for in-vivo imaging, complementing traditional hydrogen MRI.
    • The study explores the potential of 19F MRI as an advanced diagnostic tool.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To ascertain the minimum detection sensitivity of a fluorinated compound (CF3-CO2H) using 19F MRI.
    • To investigate the influence of various imaging parameters on detection sensitivity.
    • To establish the feasibility of low-field 19F MRI.

    Main Methods:

    • Utilized a resistance MR scanner at 6.255 MHz for both 19F (0.156 T) and hydrogen MRI (0.147 T).
    • Systematically varied pulse sequences, interpulse times (TE, TI, TR), gradient strengths, and data averages.

  • Analyzed the relationship between signal strength and concentration (0.05 M to 20.0 M).

    • Main Results:

    • Established a linear correlation between signal intensity and concentration for CF3-CO2H.
    • Identified a minimum detection sensitivity of 0.1 M for the tested fluorinated compound.
    • Demonstrated that system signal-to-noise ratio (S/N), acquisition time, relaxation times (T1, T2), and sample volume are critical factors.

    Conclusions:

    • Low-field 19F MRI is a viable technique for biological imaging.
    • Optimization of imaging parameters is crucial for maximizing detection sensitivity.
    • Future improvements in static fields, coil design, and S/N ratios will enhance 19F MRI capabilities.
