Figure 11. (a) Unlocalized and (b and c) single voxel 19F experiments in a patient receiving a bolus dose of 5-fluorouracil (5FU). The two black arrows indicate the expected resonance of {alpha}-fluoro-{beta}-alanine (right arrow) and bile acid conjugated {alpha}-fluoro-{beta}-alanine (left arrow). Note how both resonances are visible in the (a) unlocalized sequence. As expected, {alpha}-fluoro-{beta}-alanine is detected in the liver (b) and note the single resonance detected in the gallbladder centred on the expected resonance of bile acid conjugated {alpha}-fluoro-{beta}-alanine.
