The physics of NMR tomography.
The nuclear magnetic resonance properties of the nuclei of atoms is a convenient means for elucidating the morphology and pathophysiology of the human body. The fundamental principles of Larmor precession are discussed from the classical as well as from the quantum mechanical point of view. In this paper, principles of NMR medical imaging and its clinical applications are discussed.
