[Use of nuclear magnetic resonance tomography in the diagnosis of diseases of the central nervous system in children of various ages].

The authors analyse the results of NMR tomography of 48 children (5 mos.-14 years) with various diseases of the CNS system mainly connected with pre and perinatal lesions. High percentage of various disorders in the formation of the brain and spinal cord as the main neurological pathology, is noted.

[Tomography based on the nuclear magnetic resonance effect in neurology].

On the basis of the preliminary results of their own studies and the literature data, the authors evaluated the diagnostic possibilities of NMR tomography in some diseases involving the brain. The physical basic principles of the method and the major regimens of examination are described. NMR tomography versus computer-aided tomography was shown to be more informative in the diagnosis of pathological processes in the formations of the posterior fossa of the cranium, craniovertebral junction and also in demyelinizing diseases.

[Use of NMR tomography in clinical practice].

A new method of tomography based on nmr (nmr-tomography) was used to examine 25 normal subjects and 35 patients with tumorous, vascular, inflammatory and demyelinization processes occurring in the brain, cervical division of the spinal cord and visceral cranium. Use was made of an nmr-tomograph with a resistive magnet (magnetic field 0.14 T).
