Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging: Potential cardiac applications

摘要: During the past several years, production of high resolution images organs in intact animals and human beings using nuclear magnetic resonance (nmr) has generated much interest raised possibility that technique could be usefully applied to clinical problems. Because are derived from biochemical as well structural information, valuable data relating metabolic status tissues may obtained. Furthermore, imaging involves no potentially hazardous ionizing radiation. The technology is complex work remains done defining physiologic basis such images, but potential rewards state heart brain animal justify continued research.
