ABSTRACT:
A method of and an apparatus for inspecting a physical portion having physiological movement, for example, the abdominal region moving with breathing, by utilizing nuclear magnetic resonance. The circumstances of that area of the surface of the abdominal region which exists on a plane indicative of a slice to be imaged, is made different from the circumstances of the surface of the remaining physical portion. In this case, a person to be inspected feels a foreign matter at the abdominal region, and suppresses the movement of the abdominal region due to breathing, consciously and unconsciously, thereby moving the breast with breathing. Thus, the to-be-inspected abdominal region is kept quiet, and an accurate inspection can be made in a short period of time.
