Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a well-established tool for studying the properties of materials at the molecular level. The technique has recently been applied to the internal morphological analysis of biological material by producing a series of thin cross-sectional images derived from the distribution of mobile protons. There are grounds for believing that NMR will be more than a mere alternative to computer tomography, for it may prove possible to achieve both a useful degree of tissue characterization through analysing components of the complex NMR signal and also an approach to the measurement of blood flow in vivo.
核磁共振（NMR）是一种成熟的工具，用于在分子水平上研究材料的特性。最近，该技术已应用于生物材料的内部形态分析，通过生成一系列源自移动质子分布的薄横截面图像来实现。有理由相信，NMR将不仅仅是计算机断层扫描的一种替代方法，因为通过分析复杂NMR信号的成分，有可能实现有用程度的组织特征描述，并且还可能找到一种在体内测量血流的方法。
