Abstract
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) technology is accelerating a revolution in medical and scientific neuroimaging that began in the 1970s with the intro duction of powerful new x ray methods-computed tomography, positron emissio n tomography, and single photon emission computed tomography. Refinement of these technologies continues as applications for which they are uniquely w ell suited are defined.
