Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy is a powerful tool for studying paramagnetic species.
  • Simultaneous multi-point measurements in EPR are challenging due to signal overlap and spectral distortion.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and validate a gradient technique for simultaneous multi-point EPR measurements.
  • To apply this technique for in vivo oxygen concentration determination.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized a magnetic field gradient to spatially separate EPR signals from distinct paramagnetic probes.
  • Employed lithium phthalocyanine crystals and synthetic carbohydrate chars as oxygen-sensitive probes.
  • Applied maximum entropy deconvolution to correct for gradient-induced lineshape distortions.
