Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging: applications for neurological abnormalities.
In recent clinical trials, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imagers have demonstrated their ability to generate images with superb contrast and spatial detail in multiple planes. Blood vessels are especially well defined without the use of contrast agents. Although NMR is highly sensitive to changes in tissue composition, the potential of NMR to differentiate among different pathologic entities remains to be fully elucidated.
