Clinical NMR imaging of the brain and cord.
After a short explanation of the NMR imaging technique the normal appearances of the brain are described. Subsequently the paper deals with the NMR images of vascular disease, white matter disease, tumors of the brain and paediatric neurological disease. The conclusion is that NMR has advantages over CT of the brain in certain fields, but that exploration of its full potential has hardly yet begun.
