Abstract
Several techniques for use in nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) imaging are discussed. These are: (1) methods to reduce the linewidth of broadband systems, with the aim of imaging solid materials; (2) procedures for producing paramagnetic antibodies for generating images with intensity contrast for characterizing specific tissue; and (3) double irradiation techniques for improving the signal-to-noise ratio for low spin concentrations
