Abstract

A series of axial transverse proton nuclear magnetic resonance scans through the heart are presented that demonstrate clear delineation of both the wall and cavity of the constituent chambers. The anatomical substrate of the sections is explained, and the potential applications of these preliminary results in clinical practice are discussed.
