Image formation in NMR by a selective irradiative process

Abstract

A new method of image formation by NMR is described. It is based on selective RF irradiation of the sample in switched magnetic field gradients. Selective irradiation may be achieved by tailored (or simple) excitation or tailored (or simple) saturation. Preliminary experiments illustrating various aspects of the method are described, and a two dimensional picture or image of a simple object is presented.
