Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR): I. Imaging Biochemical Change
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 29 January 2018
Summary
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of hydrogen in body water and fat is proving valuable in clinical investigation of the brain. An introduction to the technique and to the biological significance of the images is presented here. The ‘multi-parameter’ nature of these images is stressed, and the individual parameters described. NMR imaging may well be of value in investigating the pathology of organic and functional psychoses.
