ABSTRACT:
There is provided an electron spin resonance enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ESREMRI) apparatus having means arranged to generate a primary magnetic field of a first value during periods of nuclear spin transition excitation and magnetic resonance signal detection for the generation of ESREMRI images of a subject and means arranged to generate a primary magnetic field of a second and higher value during periods of nuclear spin transition excitation and magnetic resonance signal detection for the generation of native MR images of a subject, and preferably also means for combining, e.g. superimposing, ESREMRI and native MR images so generated.
