title: [Nuclear magnetic resonance and its biological problems].
abstract: Among the main reasons for the interest aroused by the production of images by nuclear magnetic resonance, the successes obtained by TC and the possibility of avoiding the use of ionizing radiations in the new procedure are well worth mentioning. This possibility had induced operators to consider the possible effects of an examination with nuclear magnetic resonance "a priori" unimportant or only noticeable as regards a subjective symptomatology of scarce importance and, at most they advise a few general precautionary measures in the selection of patients. The separate study of the effects of individual forms of energy which act in nuclear magnetic resonance has, however, shown the utility of extending research of tests in wider physiopathological fields and deepening studies of molecular biology, even though results to date appear reassuring.
