  • Method of measuring the .sup.17 O content and distribution in a body
    Patent number: 5479924
    Abstract: A method of measuring the .sup.17 O isotope content and distribution in a body by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) by collecting first and second nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) signals of the body under the same conditions of examination except that before one examination, the body is first irradiated with radio waves at the .sup.17 O resonance frequency, whereas before the other examination the body is not so irradiated. The difference in the results of the two examinations is measured to provide an NMR image of the .sup.17 O isotope distribution in the body.
