Abstract
Magnetic Resonance Imaging within the past 10 years has become the primary medical imaging modality for many neurological and orthopedic applications. Starting from the basic phenomena of Nuclear Magnetic Resonance, the principles of 2D and 3D Magnetic Resonance Imaging are described. As a new and possibly important future application the basics of Magnetic Resonance Angiography allowing the display of vascular structures without the use of contrast agents is being elaborated.
