IMAGING APPARATUS USING NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE

摘要

In an imaging apparatus using nuclear magnetic resonance which includes apparatus for generating a static magnetic field, a linear gradient magnetic field and a radio frequency magnetic field, respectively, signal detection device for detecting the nuclear magnetic resonant signal from an object to be inspected, a computer for calculating from the detection signal an image and output device for displaying the result of calculation by the computer, the improvement wherein the size of the object to be inspected is detected by use of ultrasonic wave or light beams and a signal indicative of the detected size of the object is applied to the linear gradient magnetic field generation apparatus so as to control the intensity of the linear gradient magnetic field.
