Magnetic
Resonance Imaging (MRI)
•Another growing field of interest in
NMR is MR-imaging. The water content of the human body allows the
making of proton charts or images of the whole body or certain tissues. Since
static magnetic fields or radiopulses have been found not to injure living organisms,
MR-imaging is competing with x-ray tomography as the main diagnostic tool
in medicine.
The MR-imaging technique has been applied to material research as well.
