A method for spin magnetic resonance applications in general, and for
performing NMR (nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy) and MRI (nuclear
magnetic resonance imaging) in particular is disclosed. It is a quantum
theory--based continuous precision method. This method directly makes use
of spin magnetic resonance random emissions to generate its
auto-correlation function and power spectrum, from which are derived the
relaxation times and spin number density. The method substantially
reduces the NMR/MRI machine and data processing complexity, thereby
making NMR/MRI machines much less-costly, much less-bulky, more accurate,
and easier to operate than the current pulsed NMR/MRI. By employing
extremely low transverse RF magnetic B.sub.1 field (around or less 0.01
Gauss), MRI with this method is much safer for patients. And, by
employing continuous spin magnetic resonance emissions, NMR with this
method is of virtually unlimited spectral resolution to satisfy any
science and engineering requirements.
