title: In vivo NMR micro-imaging of kidney and liver of mouse at 9.4 T.
abstract: NMR micro-images of the kidney and liver were measured at 9.4 T in intact mouse, schistosoma Mansoni-infected mouse, and lupus nephritis in an MRL/lpr mouse. High-field NMR imaging has the advantages of sensitivity, spatial resolution, and tissue contrasts based on longitudinal and transverse relaxations, magnetic susceptibility differences and blood flow.
