In this work, the feasibility to detect orally
administered chemotherapy (capecitabine) in the liver
was investigated at a clinical 7T MR system. The system
was equipped with a broadband radiative antenna to
acquire both 1H and 19F signal, and dual-frequency
excitation pulses were implemented to overcome
excitation issues. Pulse acquire and 3D spectroscopic
imaging 19F spectra were successfully acquired in two
patients at 1 and 10 hours after drug intake. The
results show that it is feasible to monitor chemotherapy
metabolism at 7T in the human body.
