Image forming method for use in medical field, involves providing polarized substance to living organism, and obtaining metabolism image indicating distribution of substance using magnetic-resonance apparatus

摘要

The polarization of metabolism participation substance (2) such as F-fluoro deoxy glucose 19 or F-dopamine (DOPA), is polarized using the substance such as fluorine 19 having high relaxation time. The polarized substance is provided to living organism and metabolism image (16) indicating the distribution of substance is obtained using a magnetic-resonance apparatus (14).
