不用切开头部,亦不需用对人体有潜在损害的放射线,就可将人类的大脑进行化学分析,这在去年已经变成了现实。这是核磁回声新技术应用于临床的结果。纽约 Columbia—Presbyterian 医疗中心的内科医生,应用安装在医院内的强有力的核磁回声器,观察大脑的内部结构,以及脑内一系列重要元素,和化合物的分布。令人感到欣慰的是,这将导致疾病较早的进一步精确的诊断,甚至可以帮助测定一个人对 Last year, it became a reality that the human brain could be chemically analyzed without having to cut the head or use radiation that could potentially damage the human body. This is the result of clinical application of new magnetic resonance technique. The physician at Columbia-Presbyterian Medical Center in New York City uses a powerful NMR echo mounted inside a hospital to observe the internal structure of the brain and the distribution of a series of important elements and compounds in the brain. It is gratifying that this will lead to further accurate diagnosis of the disease earlier, and may even help determine a person’s
