Relative perfusion, pO(2), and bioreduction were measured simultaneously in vivo in tissues in mice by following changes in the intensity and shape of the EPR spectra of nitroxides injected directly into the tissues, using low frequency (1.1 GHz) localized EPR spectroscopy, Using normal and blood flow restricted gastrocnemius muscles it was shown that the decrease of the EPR signals of the nitroxides in tissues was due principally to perfusion, which redistributed the nitroxides. Changes in pO(2) were reflected by changes of the linewidth; only a perdeuterated nitroxide with a narrow line was an adequate indicator for this parameter, This technique was applied experimental murine tumors (MTG-B and RIF-1) to determine the perfusion and pO(2) in these relatively hypoxic model tumor systems. Using the paramagnetic properties of the nitroxides to enhance T-1-weighted MR images, heterogeneity in perfusion in individual tumors was demonstrated.
