    摘要: A method of finding error distribution in the static magnetic field and distribution of deviations from straight lines in the gradient magnetic fields of an NMR imaging apparatus which employs the applied spin-warp method. A phantom whose shape has been known is measured in the read-out gradient magnetic fields having different polarities to obtain two spin density distribution images. The two images are then compared with the shape of said phantom to measure the distortion distributions of the images. Error in the static magnetic field and deviations of the gradient magnetic fields from the straight lines are analyzed from the distortion distributions. From the thus obtained error distribution, furthermore, distortion induced in imaging the object is estimated, and the distortion contained in the image that is reconstructed from the spin density of the object by the spin-warp method is corrected using the thus estimated value.

    摘要: An NMR imaging method which provides a three-dimensional image representative of the two-dimensional distribution of nuclear spin species resolved by chemical shift or the local spectra resolved by two-dimensional location. After the excitation of nuclear spins and the phase-encoding by application of a field gradient G.sub.y, a periodically inverting field gradient G.sub.x is generated to yield a continuous echo train. The echo train is sampled and separated into data of odd-numbered echoes and data of even-numbered echoes which data are in turn reconstructed into two-dimensional data arrays, respectively. The data thus reconstructed are three-dimensional Fourier-transformed.

    摘要: An NMR imaging apparatus and method for detecting a nuclear spin resonance signal from an object, which is placed in a magnetic field, to produce images of the object. At an instant when the spins come into phase after the signal detection by a first spin excitation, RF magnetic field pulses are applied for rotating the direction of the spin to that opposite to the initial state. After that, the spin excitation and the signal direction of second time are conducted to measure the data which are different in the effect of the relaxation time from the first measurements. By repeating these sequences, it is possible to produce a plurality of images such as an intensity image or a relaxation time enhanced image.

    摘要: A method for immunochemical determination of a hapten in a sample is disclosed, in which(A) a high-molecular compound to which the hapten is bound (reagent A),(B) insoluble carrier particles carrying thereon an antibody to the hapten (reagent B), and(C) magnetic substance-containing insoluble carrier particles carrying thereon an antibody to an antigenic determinant in the high-molecular compound and different from the hapten (reagent C),are used. These three reagents are dispersed in the sample, then, a magnetic field is applied to separate from the reaction mixture unreacted reagent (C) and agglutinated particles formed from the reagent (B) and the reagent (C) through the reagent (A). The amount of the reagent (B) remaining dispersed in the reaction mixture is measured, thereby determining the extent of competitive inhibition to the agglutination of the reagent (B) and the reagent (C) through the reagent (A) by the reaction between the hapten in the sample and the reagent (B). The method of the present invention requires no troublesome operations such as separation-washing and is free from any problem is safety. By the method of the present invention, the concentration of a hapten in a sample is determined by simple operations in a short time and with high sensitivity.
