A nuclear-magnetic-resonance inspection apparatus that enables an examiner
to designate directly a section of a subject to be imaged. The NMR
inspection apparatus has a section-designating unit containing reference
objects A, B, and C that can be set at three reference points, and can be
held in the hand of an examiner to be moved and operated in close
proximity to the subject, wherein a prescribed part of a plane including
the reference objects set at up to three reference points is the section
of the subject to be imaged. While watching the subject, the examiner can
directly designate a section to be imaged. Thus, diagnoses can be made
easily and quickly.
