Abstract

Recent development of high-field wide-bore magnets for spin-imaging applications has made feasible the observation of nuclear spins of low sensitivity. We propose the in vivo use of deuterium, specifically D₂O, as an exogeneous magnetic resonance nuclear spin label of clinically significant potential. The combination of an efficient quadrupole relaxation mechanism, low acute toxicity and ready commercial availability of D₂O for in situ enrichment will provide sufficient sensitivity for magnetic resonance imaging.
