An in vivo study of the fore-arm and hand by thin section NMR imaging.
A series of transverse thin section NMR images of the living fore-arm and hand is compared with the morphology of corresponding cadaver sections. Each image is derived from the distribution of the density of mobile protons within the section. The contrast and spatial resolution achieved indicate the potential information that future whole-body systems could provide.
