Abstract
Enhancement of spin-lattice relaxation using oral ferric chloride and using inhaled oxygen is illustrated. A 0.06% solution of ferric chloride reduced the spin-lattice relaxation time in the fundus of the stomach from 730 ms to 285 ms. Ferric chloride may be useful as a bowel-labeling agent. In 5 volunteers inhalation of 100% oxygen decreased the mean observed spin-lattice relaxation time of blood within the left ventricular cavity. Although the change was small, it may have important uses in monitoring metabolic processes.Entities:
