ABSTRACT:
A method for measuring temperature and/or pH in vivo using paramagnetic compounds, e.g., lanthanide complexes, in conjunction with NMR has been developed. The chemical shift of the nuclear spin in these complexes can then be correlated to temperature. This non-invasive temperature measurement method is particularly useful in monitoring temperature of cancerous tissue during hyperthermic treatment to destroy the cancerous tissue or tumor.
