High resolution nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of pig knees at 4.7 T.
We present images of the pig knee joint which illustrate the resolution that is easily obtainable in high field (4.7 T) NMR imaging. We also describe a variant of the birdcage resonator which utilizes a novel tuning mechanism of simple construction.
