Abstract
PURPOSE: Spin-lattice relaxation rate (R1 )-based time-domain EPR oximetry is reported for in vivo applications using a paramagnetic probe, a trityl-based Oxo71. METHODS: The R1 dependence of the trityl probe Oxo71 on partial oxygen pressure (pO2 ) was assessed using single-point imaging mode of spatial encoding combined with rapid repetition, similar to T1 -weighted MRI, for which R1 was determined from 22 repetition times ranging from 2.1 to 40.0 μs at 300 MHz. The pO2 maps of a phantom with 3 tubes containing 2 mM Oxo71 solutions equilibrated at 0%, 2%, and 5% oxygen were determined by R1 and apparent spin-spin relaxation rate ( R2*) simultaneously. RESULTS: The pO2 maps derived from R1 and R2* agreed with the known pO2 levels in the tubes of Oxo71. However, the histograms of pO2 revealed that R1 offers better pO2 resolution than R2* in low pO2 regions. The SDs of pixels at 2% pO2 (15.2 mmHg) were about 5 times lower in R1 -based estimation than R2*-based estimation (mean ± SD: 13.9 ± 1.77 mmHg and 18.3 ± 8.70 mmHg, respectively). The in vivo pO2 map obtained from R1 -based assessment displayed a homogeneous profile in low pO2 regions in tumor xenografts, consistent with previous reports on R2*-based oximetric imaging. The scan time to obtain the R1 map can be significantly reduced using 3 repetition times ranging from 4.0 to 12.0 μs. CONCLUSION: Using the single-point imaging modality, R1 -based oximetry imaging with useful spatial and oxygen resolutions for small animals was demonstrated.
