Display of cross sectional anatomy by nuclear magnetic resonance imaging

Department of Physics, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD Department of Human Morphology and Radiology, University of Nottingham, University Park, Nottingham NG7 2RD

High definition cross-sectional images produced by a new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technique are shown. The images are a series of thin section scans in the coronal plane of the head of a rabbit. The NMR images are derived from the distribution of the density of mobile hydrogen atoms. Various tissue types can be distinguished and a clear registration of gross anatomy is demonstrated. No known hazards are associated with the technique.
