| pubmed-article:3715723 | pubmed:abstractText | Fourteen normal subjects were examined with the aid of a NMR-tomograph VMT-1100 manufactured by the Brucker Company, FRG. Two methods of image obtaining were employed, namely the recovery of inversion and spin-echo. To visualize the mesenterial vessels, image synchronization according to the ECG R wave was made use of in some cases. On axial sections the vessels showed as rounded formations with a clearly visible wall having a lighter coloration. On sagittal and coronary sections one could see vessels looking like tubular structures with a flat and even wall. The thoracic and abdominal parts of the aorta with the outgoing branches as well as the inferior vena cava were visualized well. To have a more complete visualization of the vessel wall and sites from where the vessels go out, the "zone of interest" was distinguished followed by the enlargement, which allowed a more detailed view of the objects under examination. NMR-tomography permitted obtaining information concerning the status of the vessels together with their form, size, winding and curvatures, the magnitude of the lumen of the vessels and thickness of their walls. | lld:pubmed |
