A stimulated echo sequence was used to obtain 19 F NMR spectra from within a 4‐ml voxel in a cat brain. The time dependence of the 19 F NMR signal from an inert gas (CHF 3 ) was used to calculate the blood flow in the voxel. The position of the voxel was selected using a 1 H MR image. © 1990 Academic Press, Inc.
