  • Blood flow imaging using a CW NMR technique
    Patent number: 4697147
    Abstract: An NMR blood flowmeter applies a continuous transverse excitation signal and a constant, homogeneous polarizing magnetic field to blood flowing through an active region. The polarizing magnetic field is contoured at opposite boundaries of this active region, and by switching these contours and collecting the resulting NMR signals, data is obtained from which the various components of blood flow may be calculated.
