Rapid medium- resolution 3-D NMR zeugmatographic imaging of the head

A true three-dimensional NMR zeugmatographic image of the human head, with an isotropic spatial resolution of 3.8 mm has been obtained in a total imaging time of 10 min. using a saturation-recovery (SR) pulse sequence. The 65 X 65 X 65 point 3-D image array has been displayed as three orthogonal sets of computer generated slices: transverse, coronal and sagittal. Intensities in such an image depend not only on the concentrations of protons but also on the spin-lattice relaxation time, T1 and the spin-spin relaxation time, T2.
