Nuclear magnetic resonance imaging can produce tomographic images of the body without ionizing radiation. Images of the head, chest, abdomen, pelvis and extremities have been obtained and normal structures and pathology have been identified. Soft tissue contrast with this method is superior to that with x-ray computerized tomography and its spatial resolution is approaching that of x-ray computerized tomography. In addition, nuclear magnetic resonance imaging enables us to image along the sagittal and coronal planes directly, and it does not produce obscuring artifacts by bone.

核磁共振成像能够在不使用电离辐射的情况下生成人体断层图像。已经获得了头部、胸部、腹部、骨盆和四肢的图像，并识别出了正常结构和病变。这种方法的软组织对比度优于X射线计算机断层扫描，其空间分辨率正在接近X射线计算机断层扫描。此外，核磁共振成像使我们能够直接沿矢状面和冠状面成像，并且不会产生由骨骼引起的模糊伪影。
