ABSTRACT:
An NMR zeugmatographic scanner is modified to provide flow images. A motion sensitizing, bi-phasic excitation field gradient is applied during each measurement cycle to produce transverse magnetization in paramagnetic nuclei which are moving in the direction of the gradient. The resulting free induction signal is processed using an inverse Fourier transformation to produce images of flowing paramagnetic nuclei.
