ABSTRACT:
By synchronizing the radio-frequency excitations of a nuclear magnetic resonance experiment with the heart beat of a patient, notable improvement is obtained in the measurement of the molecular diffusion parameters of the tissues studied. In particular, good images of the brain are obtained in this way: the parameter represented is the molecular diffusion constant.
