Medical imaging by NMR.

چکیده
Application of the new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method of fast scan proton imaging is described. Cross sectional proton scans of a human finger in vivo are measured and reveal considerable anatomical detail, particularly of the soft tissue regions. Imaging of tumour tissue is also briefly discussed.

Oesophageal carcinoma demonstrated by whole-body nuclear magnetic resonance imaging.
The quality of the images produced by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging has steadily improved over the past five years. Images of the head, thorax, and abdomen have clearly shown the normal anatomy. A clinical trial of NMR imaging has therefore been started in Aberdeen to assess its diagnostic accuracy and compare it with conventional radiography and other imaging technique. The first pa...
متن کاملMagnetic Resonance Imaging
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a subtle quantum mechanical phenomenon that, through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), has played a major role in the revolution in medical imaging over the last 30 years. Before being conceived for use in imaging, NMR was employed by chemists to do spectroscopy, and remains a very important technique for determining the structure of complex chemical compound...

Nuclear magnetic resonance, or NMR, is the energy exchange between an RF magnetic field and an atomic nucleus such as a hydrogen proton, which is a tiny bar magnet due to its spin. NMR has a broad array of powerful applications, including: biomolecule sensing (e.g., cancer marker detection), medical imaging, and oil detection. NMR instruments, however, are bulky, heavy, and expensive, and remai...

متن کاملHigh resolution NMR imaging using a high field yokeless permanent magnet.
We measured the homogeneity and stability of the magnetic field of a high field (about 1.04 tesla) yokeless permanent magnet with 40-mm gap for high resolution nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging. Homogeneity was evaluated using a 3-dimensional (3D) lattice phantom and 3D spin-echo imaging sequences. In the central sphere (20-mm diameter), peak-to-peak magnetic field inhomogeneity was abou...
