Nuclear magnetic resonance and computed tomography: comparison of normal human body images.
Normal human body images of the thorax and abdomen were obtained using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and computed tomography. Correlation of the images allowed precise anatomic identification of organs and structures. Differences between the images appear to be significant. NMR has potential as a methodology for assessing and imaging nuclear composition. Certain clinical implications from this technique are discussed.
