Application of the new nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) method of fast scan proton imaging is described. Cross sectional proton scans of a human finger in vivo are measured and reveal considerable anatomical detail, particularly of the soft tissue regions. Imaging of tumour tissue is also briefly discussed.

TLDR
In developing a strategy for the acquisition of nuclear magnetic resonance, cost factors must be considered together with a realistic appraisal of a clinical facility as primarily a research or clinical unit.

Tissue water content and nuclear magnetic resonance in normal and tumor tissues.
TLDR
A good correlation between the spin-lattice (T1) and spin-spin (T2) relaxation times and the tissue water content was found for all tissues studied and the relaxation times T1 and T2 and water content in Walker 256 carcinoma and its lymph node metastasis were quite similar.
Tumor Detection by Nuclear Magnetic Resonance
TLDR
Spin echo nuclear magnetic resonance measurements may be used as a method for discriminating between malignant tumors and normal tissue and Spin-lattice relaxation times for two benign fibroadenomas were distinct from those for both malignant tissues and were the same as those of muscle.
