Synopsis
We observed the movement of 17O-labelled water (H217O) in the eyes of three volunteers using dynamic T2W 1H-MRI (3T). After a drop of H217O saline in the right eye, the signal intensity in the right anterior chamber decreased, reaching a minimum at 7–9 min, and then gradually recovered to close to that seen before the eye drop, by about 40 min. Signal decrease and recovery was also observed in the posterior chamber, but not in the vitreous body. These results show that H217O drops flow smoothly into the human anterior chamber and flow out slowly.
