Fast hypothermia induced by Total Liquid Ventilation (TLV) with Perfluorocarbons (PFC) has been shown to be cardioprotective. TLV procedure includes a lung filling phase, the ventilation, and a final clearance during which PFCs are eliminated from the lungs. For the potential clinical transfer, it is important to select PFCs that are better tolerated, as the clearance phase may vary with the PFC physical properties. Here, we present the evaluation of the clearance from pig lungs for three different liquid PFCs with a quantitative dual-nuclei (1H, 19F) MRI protocol at 1.5 T providing insights for selecting PFCs for human use
