True three-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance imaging by Fourier reconstruction zeugmatography

A new method of obtaining three-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance images is introduced. This imaging method, Fourier reconstruction zeugmatography, reconstructs true three-dimensional images directly from transient NMR signals by a Fourier transform technique. A theoretical analysis and experimental results are presented. The method is simple in operation and provides a safe, efficient, and versatile alternative to other methods for medical diagnostic imaging.
