Real-time nuclear magnetic resonance clinical imaging in paediatrics.
Echo-planar imaging (EPI), a distinctive variant of nuclear magnetic resonance, needs only a fraction of a second for an image to be acquired and so is free from movement artifacts caused by respiration or heart beat. Clinical findings in the lungs, heart, and mediastinum of three children with high respiratory and heart rates who were examined by EPI are described.
