Tomographic imaging with nuclear magnetic resonance.
A technique is described for obtaining tomographic images of hydrogen distribution in animals using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). Resonant frequency is proportional to magnetic field strength, so that spatial resolution is achieved by frequency selection and magnetic field shaping. The results of scanning a phantom and two rats are presented.
