NMR (Nuclear Magnetic Resonance)
non-radiation-based imaging technique in which a substance or body part is subjected to a magnetic field
Nuclear magnetic resonance
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) is a physical phenomenon based upon the
quantum mechanical magnetic properties of an
atom's
nucleus. NMR also commonly refers to a family of scientific methods that exploit nuclear magnetic resonance to study
molecules.All nuclei that contain odd numbers of
protons or
neutrons have an intrinsic
magnetic moment and
angular momentum. The most commonly measured nuclei are
hydrogen-1 (the most receptive
isotope at natural abundance) and
carbon-13, although nuclei from isotopes of many other elements (e.g. 15
N, 14N 19
F, 31
P, 17
O, 29
Si, 10
B, 11B, 23
Na, 35
Cl, 195
Pt) can also be observed.
