In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

Abstract

Inhaled oxygen can be used as a contrast agent for magnetic resonance imaging, due to the T1 shortening effect of the oxy- gen dissolved in blood and tissue water. In this study, blood T1 was measured dynamically in 14 volunteers (seven smok- ers, seven never-smokers) as the inhaled gas was switched from medical air to 100% oxygen and back to medical air. These T1 values were converted to changes in partial pres- sure of oxygen, which were found to be in agreement with lit- erature values. There were differences in curve shape and curve height between the smoker and never-smoker groups, suggesting differences in lung function due to smoking- related damage. These curves could be used as an input function for modeling of oxygen uptake in tissues. The differ- ences between groups highlight the importance of measuring such an input function for each individual rather than relying on an assumed measurement.
