Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging of the prostate.
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of the prostate has been done in 25 patients, using a prototype machine developed in Aberdeen. It is a non-invasive technique which demonstrated the anatomical extent and pathological nature of prostatic lesions. The NMR images in both benign and malignant prostatic disease on this machine are comparable with first generation CT scans.
