A linear relationship is demonstrated between the partial oxygen pressure (pO2) and the normalized signal intensity (IN), defined as, IN = (IHP - ILP) / ILP, where ILP and IHP refer to signal intensities at low (PL) and high (PH) RF power levels, respectively. A formula for the determination of pO2, derived on the basis of the experimental results, reliably estimated various oxygen concentrations in a five-tube phantom. This new technique was time-efficient and also avoided the missing angle problem associated with conventional spectral-spatial CW EPR oximetric imaging. In vivo power saturation oximetric imaging in a tumor bearing mouse clearly depicted the hypoxic foci within the tumor.}, pages = {1709--1716}, title = {Continuous wave EPR oximetric imaging at 300 MHz using radiofrequency power saturation effects}, volume = {9}, year = {2007} }
