Abstract
The development of a tomographic technique based on the nuclear magnetic resonance phenomenon appears the most interesting and promising innovation of recent years in medical imaging. Even the first industrially produced prototype instruments presented cross-sectional images of the human body of outstanding quality when compared with first-generation X-ray computed tomograms. The excellent anatomic resolution without the need for ionizing radiation is the reason why NMR tomography1 has attracted such great interest among medical professionals. Nevertheless, NMR imaging is still in the developmental stage, and for the time being optimism should be guarded. The suitability of NMR tomography as a routine diagnostic method has yet to be established by clinical trials that have only recently begun.
