    Abstract:
    A new method of tomography based on nmr (nmr-tomography) was used to examine 25 normal subjects and 35 patients with tumorous, vascular, inflammatory and demyelinization processes occurring in the brain, cervical division of the spinal cord and visceral cranium. Use was made of an nmr-tomograph with a resistive magnet (magnetic field 0.14 T). It was shown that the diagnostic data of nmr-tomography correlated well with the x-ray computer-aided tomography data. In some cases, nmr-tomography provides more complete information owing to the methodological possibilities (performance of saggital tomograms) and to the basic features of the method itself (detection of tissue edema during the obtaining of hydrogen nuclei (protons) resonance. The authors describe some shortcomings of nmr-tomography, of both outfit-induced and methodological nature.
