129Xe’s high solubility in tissue and blood, coupled with its dramatic change in chemical shift based on local chemical environment, enables quantitative measurements of blood oxygenation. In this work, we demonstrate a technique for distinguishing oxygenated vs. deoxygenated blood in the mouse circulatory system in vivo. Time-resolved dissolved-phase images and spectra were used to identify spectral signatures for 129Xe dissolved in oxygenated and deoxygenated blood, which were then applied to a mouse model of lung cancer to temporally assess regional changes in pulmonary blood oxygenation. The results presented here demonstrate
