Abstract
Emulsions of perfluorotributylamine (FTBA) and perflubron were evaluat ed for their utility in F-19 echo planar imaging. Fluorine images of t he emulsions were obtained in a phantom and two mice that had been pre dosed. Both agents, but particularly perflubron, show potential for fl uorine echo planar studies because of the long spin-spin relaxation ti mes of the CF3 resonances. High resolution thin slice images obtained in as little as 26.6 ms are presented.
