[Tomography based on the nuclear magnetic resonance effect in neurology]

On the basis of the preliminary results of their own studies and the literature data, the authors evaluated the diagnostic possibilities of NMR tomography in some diseases involving the brain. The physical basic principles of the method and the major regimens of examination are described. NMR tomography versus computer-aided tomography was shown to be more informative in the diagnosis of pathological processes in the formations of the posterior fossa of the cranium, craniovertebral junction and also in demyelinizing diseases.
