Title: Improvement in or relating to nuclear magnetic resonance systems
IPC: G01R33/56
Filed: 1980-08-11
Abstract: It has been found that the absorption of RF energy in a body, such as that of a patient, may be determined by taking two NMR images stored at 3, 4, by any suitable method, where the RF pulses for the two images differ but such that they should provide identical pictures. The difference taken at 6, between the two pictures gives an absorption distribution. The invention proposes that a single picture is taken after an n??? RF pulse, where n is integer. This picture should be zero all over but will not be zero when there has been absorption. The method cannot generally be combined with a slice selective gradient and is, therefore, applicable particularly to volume scans. <IMAGE>
