Title Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
Creator Robert A. Zimmerman, MD, Children's Hospital of Philadelphia
Subject Nuclear Magnetic Resonance; Diagnostic Imaging; Nonhazardous; Higher Intrinsic Contrast
Description Interest in nuclear magnetic resonance (NHR) as a diagnostic imaging technique developed with the work of Lauterbur in 1973. This is because of the following two potentials: 1. NMR may be nonhazardous and, 2. It has a higher intrinsic contrast between soft tissues than conventional x-ray. Experience with NMR is not new as it has been used in the clinical laboratory to analyze organic compounds for 30 years. The use of NMR in the study of in vivo human tissue necessitates the development of much larger magnets, and has brought with it considerable technical difficulties. This presentation will attempt to clarify the basic concepts of NMR, the difficulties in producing human images that are useful, and the present state of knowledge about sensitivity and specificity of NNR images.
