Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging of the prostate

J H Steyn et al. Br J Urol. 1984 Dec.

Abstract

Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging is a safe, non-invasive technique of visualising the prostate gland. The Aberdeen NMR imager has a field strength of 0.08 T and can image in three planes. A correct diagnosis was made in 48 of 51 patients studied with prostatic disease. At this field strength benign and malignant prostatic tissue has the same T1 value. The presence of a metallic hip prosthesis does not interfere with the imaging.
