RATIONALE AND OBJECTIVES. Emulsions of perfluorocarbons (PFCs) have been tested as blood substitutes. However, evidence exists that there is long-term retention of some PFCs by the organs of the reticuloendothelial system (RES). The authors investigate organ retention of the blood substitute component, perfluorotripropylamine (FTPA), using fluorine-19 (F-19) magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).METHODS. Various dosages of an emulsion of FTPA were administered to five rats. At intervals up to 86 weeks after infusion, F-19 MRI was used to measure the amount of FTPA in liver and spleen. The data were fit to both linear and exponential elimination models, and organ retention half-lives were calculated.RESULTS. The exponential half-lives for combined liver and spleen FTPA ranged from 110 to 190 days. Linear half-lives ranged from 175 to 300 days.CONCLUSIONS. FTPA retained by the liver and spleen may be quantified by F-19 MRI. The half-lives that were measured are longer than those reported previously for FTPA.
