Abstract

Recently Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) became a reality and extensive research efforts are underway both at academic institutions and industrial research and development centers all over the world (1–6). It is also becoming apparent, now, that the recently obtained image quality appears to be close to X-ray CT images in resolution and superior in many other aspects, such as contrast sensitivity.
