title: [Nuclear magnetic resonance tomographic diagnosis of joint changes. Value of chemical shift imaging].
abstract: Chemical shift imaging permits separate demonstration of water and fat-bound protons in a selected plane. Compared with normal spin-echo sequences, specific information can be obtained in the investigation of internal joint structures. A pilot study was carried out on the possibility of showing normal and abnormal structures, using normal controls, and 16 patients with various joint abnormalities.
