Description for Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry and Medicine
paperback. Magnetic resonance (MR) makes use of tiny radio signals emitted by the nucleus of the atom. Offering a unified treatment of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) in chemistry and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in medicine, this book is useful for a non-specialist readership. Num Pages: 290 pages, numerous figureas and halftones. BIC Classification: MMPG; PNFR. Category: (P) Professional & Vocational. Dimension: 234 x 157 x 17. Weight in Grams: 455.
Magnetic resonance (MR) measures the tiny radio frequency signals emitted by the nucleus of the atom when living or inanimate material is placed in a magnetic field. On the one hand, these signals allow scientists to picture the architecture of molecules too small to be seen under the most powerful microscope, while on the other hand they give medical doctors a detailed picture of the internal structure of the human body without resorting to surgery of any kind. These two applications (high-resolution NMR spectroscopy and the MRI scanner) seem to be worlds apart, but the underlying physical principles are the ... Read more

About Freeman, Ray; Smith, Richard
Ray Freeman read chemistry at Oxford University and completed his doctorate with R. E. Richards on nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. After two years' postdoctoral research at the French Atomic Energy Commission at Saclay, France, he moved to the National Physical Laboratory in Teddington, Middlesex. In 1961 he joined Varian Associates in Palo Alto, California, and worked on the methodology ... Read more
Reviews for Magnetic Resonance in Chemistry and Medicine
As the exposure of the wider scientific community (and the general public) to these techniques continues to increase, this book should be welcomed as a valuable way of making the basic physics behind them understandable to as wide an audience as possible.
