Abstract
PURPOSE: To characterize T2* and T1 relaxation time response to a wide spectrum of gas challenges in extracranial tissues of healthy rats. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A range of graded gas mixtures (hyperoxia, hypercapnia, hypoxia, and hypercapnic hypoxia) were delivered through a controlled gas-mixing circuit to mechanically ventilated and intubated rats. Quantitative magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed on a 3T clinical scanner; T2* and T1 maps were computed to determine tissue response in the liver, kidney cortex, and paraspinal muscles. Heart rate and blood oxygen saturation (SaO2 ) were measured through a rodent oximeter and physiological monitor. RESULTS: T2* decreases consistent with lowered SaO2 measurements were observed for hypercapnia and hypoxia, but decreases were significant only in liver and kidney cortex (P < 0.05) for >10% CO2 and <15% O2 , with the new gas stimulus, hypercapnic hypoxia, producing the greatest T2* decrease. Hyperoxia-related T2* increases were accompanied by negligible increases in SaO2 . T1 generally increased, if at all, in the liver and decreased in the kidney. Significance was observed (P < 0.05) only in kidney for >90% O2 and >5% CO2 . CONCLUSION: T2* and T1 provide complementary roles for evaluating extracranial tissue response to a broad range of gas challenges. Based on both measured and known physiological responses, our results are consistent with T2* as a sensitive marker of blood oxygen saturation and T1 as a weak marker of blood volume changes. J.
