Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) image of a human head,showing details of the brain,spinal cord,nasal airways & oesophagus. In the brain,the cerebral cortex (the folded outer part) is well- defined; in centre is corpus callosum (which connects the left right cerebral hemispheres). The spinal cord runs down the centre of image; the bulb at its top is the pons,& to its right is the cerebellum (involved in equilibrium & coordination). NMR images are obtained by subjecting the body to a large magnetic field which is interrupted by brief radio pulses,& computing reponse of atoms in different tissues (ionising radiations are not used) | |
