title: Medical diagnosis by high resolution NMR of human specimens.
abstract: NMR has progressed relatively recently from a technique used almost exclusively by chemists and physicists to a viable tool for medical diagnosis. NMR applications have developed from analysis of cells, tissues, and biological fluids, to in vivo analysis. We discuss some examples of its clinical successes, as well as some of the challenges encountered along the way.
