    摘要: A method of and an apparatus for the determination of the electron density of small volumes of a body. Two narrow beams of ionizing radiation of substantially equal intensity are subsequently directed through the small volume in two different directions. The intensity of the transmitted radiation as well as the scattered radiation along said two directions is measured extra-corporally, which measurements are employed in computing the electron density of the small volume. The employed radiation is of such high energy that the Compton effect will be the wholly dominant absorption phenomenon in the volume as well as in the radiation paths in the two mentioned directions, and that the change in the absorption cross-section from primary to secondary radiation caused by the Compton shift will be substantial.

    摘要: The invention relates to a modification of electron spin resonance enhanced magnetic resonance imaging (ESREMRI) in which two magnetically responsive materials (contrast agents) are introduced into the sample being investigated, one contrast agent serving as an ESREMRI free induction decay signal enhancing agent and the other as enhancement suppressing agent. In this way, image contrast may be enhanced further for regions in which the suppressing agent distributes poorly or not at all or which the suppressing agent reaches at a later time than the enhancing agent.

    摘要: A method of generating a magnetic resonance image of a sample comprising introducing into the sample a contrast medium comprising a paramagnetic material having an electron spin resonance transition having a linewidth of 1 Gauss or less; exposing the sample to a first radiation of a frequency selected to excite nuclear spin transitions in selective nuclei in the sample and exposing the sample to a second radiation of a frequency which excites electron spin transitions coupled to nuclear spin transitions of at least some nuclei, the second radiation being of a frequency selected to excite an electron spin resonance transition of the paramagnetic material; detecting free induction decay signals from the sample; and generating therefrom a magnetic resonance image of the sample.
