Abstract
High resolution NMR images of sixgill shark (Hexanchus griseus) tissue from both horizontal and sagittal orientations are presented. Structu res normally radiographically undetectable are visualised here with NM R. Proton density, spin-lattice and spin-spin relaxation time maps as well as various relaxation weighted images show selective enhancement of different tissue types. Quantitative analysis of major anatomical f eatures in the shark head is provided.
