PROCESS AND DEVICE FOR DETECTING CHEMICAL STATES OF LIVING ANIMAL OR HUMAN TISSUES BY MAGNETIC RESONANCE

摘要

A process is disclosed for detecting chemical states of living animal or human tissues by magnetic resonance by means of a homogeneous constant magnetic field. The tissue is measured according to a high resolution magnetic resonance process and the measurement values obtained are evaluated by comparison with resonance measurement values of comparable tissues, in order to determine whether the chemical state of the tissue corresponds to a normal chemical state or to an abnormal state that deviates from the norm. In order to allow intermediary chemical states to be detected as well, the measurement values are compared with a series of reference measurements that include detectable characteristic transition states between the normal chemical state and the final abnormal state. The chemical transition state of the measured tissued sample is determined by comparison.
