Abstract
EPR (Electron Paramagnetic Resonance) spectroscopy is being used for in vivo imaging with the recent availability of non-toxic paramagnetic spin probes. The EPR spectral line widths of these agents are directly dependent on oxygen levels. The narrow line width and the long in vivo half-lives make these agents suitable to obtain high resolution spatial images. In this study, the effects of changes in the venous and arterial oxygen in response to changes in oxygen content in the breathing atmosphere is evaluated.
