Description

A survey is provided of the first clinical results of NMR scanning with an experimental 0.14-Tesla resistive magnet system at Philips Medical Systems at Eindhoven. Between 1981 and 1983, 173 NMR examinations were performed on 43 healthy volunteers and 130 patients. The patients had a large variety of abnormalities, making statistical analysis invalid. Therefore this presentation is limited to a desciption of the different aspects of NMR imaging. The advantages and disadvantages of NMR scanning are discussed. (Auth.)
