Proton spin imaging by nuclear magnetic resonance

Abstract An account of the recent development of NMR spin imaging is given. The basic principles of NMR necessary to understand imaging are introduced. The main methods of imaging are described and illustrated with examples of images of proton spin distributions in a number of biological specimens.
