Gated sodium-23 nuclear magnetic resonance images of an isolated perfused working rat heart

Science. 1981 May 22;212(4497):935-6. doi: 10.1126/science.7233188.

Abstract

Sodium-23 nuclear magnetic resonance images of phantoms and gated images of isolated perfused working rat hearts were obtained. By synchronizing the nuclear magnetic resonance process to the heartbeat, images were obtained at systole and at diastole.
