True three-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance zeugmatographic images of a human brain

Abstract
A three-dimensional image of a preserved human brain, resolved into cubical 0.03 cm3 volume elements, has been obtained by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) zeugmatography, using a twostage reconstruction technique. Intensities in such images represent concentrations of water and other liquids or liquid-like substances. The image has been displayed as computer-generated multiple transverse, coronal and sagittal sections, so as to display most clearly a number of anatomical features. The potential of this technique in physiological research and clinical practice is discussed.
