Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) in clinical diagnosis.

In this chapter, we have briefly reviewed the techniques of in vivo NMR spectroscopy and chemical shift imaging. These techniques are complementary, and both are of great potential clinical significance. Most of the data presented here is limited to 31P and 1H NMR, but with additional refinements, 13C and 19F NMR will likely be studied in the near future.
