title: Functional oxygen-17 magnetic resonance imaging and localized spectroscopy.
abstract: Functional oxygen-17 magnetic resonance (MR) imaging and localized spectroscopy is defined as the ensemble of MR measurements aiming at in vivo, noninvasive characterization of oxygen transport and utilization. After a brief description of the present status of in vivo 17O-MR, preliminary results are reported on oxygen delivery and consumption in cell suspensions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. It is shown that parallel 31P-MR at high magnetic fields has an important corroborative value.
