The applications of the important new diagnostic modality, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging (or MRI), to the diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous sytem (CNS) are discussed. Specific examples of NMR imaging of cerebral and spinal tumours, infarction, demyelination and subdural haematomas are illustrated and compared with corresponding CT scans. The greater sensitivity of NMR, together with its ability to image in axial, coronal and sagittal planes, suggests that NMR will replace CT for many diagnostic investigations of the CNS. |
