The possibility of using 19 MRI for detection of tumors using a 2‐T NMR system was examined in animals. Anticarcino‐embryonic antigen (CEA) antibody conjugated with perfluorochemical (perfluorotributylamine, FTBA) was administered to nude mouse inoculated with LOVO, a CEA‐producing human cancer cell line. Tumor imaging based on the 19 F NMR was examined after excision of the tumors from nude mice ( ex vivo ). The imaging pattern of the tumor coincided with the antibody distribution determined immunohistologically. © 1987 Academic Press, Inc.
