Abstract:
The resolution of NMR and CT was compared using axial sections of the normal anatomic structures of the facial skeleton. It was shown that NMR was superior in differentiating muscles, tonsils, mucosa, lymph nodes and blood vessels. The demonstration of bone and its differentiation from air-containing spaces is often difficult. Metallic, non-ferromagnetic dental fillings, which cause serious artefacts on CT, do not affect NMR.
