Automated Tissue Characterization with NMR Imaging

Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging is a rapidly evolving modality which has aroused great excitement in the medical community (1,2). NMR has shown excellent soft tissue contrast without the necessity of intravenous contrast agents. It also has the advantage of using no ionizing radiation.
