Spin warp NMR imaging and applications to human whole-body imaging.

Describes a new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging technique which the authors call 'spin warp imaging' and gives examples of its application to human whole-body imaging. The apparatus is based on a four-coil, air cored magnet (made by the Oxford Instrument Company) capable of accepting the whole human body. The magnet produces a static field of 0.04 T giving a proton NMR frequency of 1.7 MHz. The maximum field inhomogeneity is about 6*10-4 at a radius of 0.23 m, approximately twice the amount theoretically attainable with this configuration. The pulse sequence used is shown.
