title: Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging. Experience with the first 100 cases at Tygerberg Hospital.
abstract: Facilities for magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) have been available in South Africa since November 1985. This article summarizes our experience with this new imaging modality, illustrates normal anatomical features and pathological conditions in sagittal, coronal and axial planes, and compares MRI with computed tomography scans of the same regions.
