Abstract

The current research, potential applications, and utilization of 19F-NMR techniques in medicine and biomedical studies are reviewed. The wide ranging possibilities involving spectroscopy and/or imaging include investigations of: metabolic processes using fluorine labeled substrates; enzymatic activity, reaction mechanisms and biomolecular binding; membrane and cell systems; perfluorocarbon compound utility; biodistribution and retention of fluorinated materials including anesthetics; and, gas phase applications.
