Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain.
The brain has been the principal area of clinical interest in proton MR imaging since the first clinical scans in 1980. The technique has evolved rapidly and promises to supplement x-ray CT in a number of clinical applications. Recent research advances, such as the development of paramagnetic contrast agents, are now being applied in clinical practice and show considerable promise.
