The use of NMR inversion-recovery (IR) sequences to demonstrate brain anatomy is illustrated. The high level of grey-white matter contrast is of value in localising anatomical structures and demonstrating myelination during childhood. While the resemblance of IR scans to gross anatomical sections in different planes is close, it is limited by the spatial resolution of the NMR scanner, artefacts and partial volume effects.
