Abstract

Most of the naturally existing matter is heterogeneous, whereas spectroscopic techniques can in general be applied only to homogeneous systems. In this paper the main physical aspects, which have made NMR spectroscopy applicable to heterogeneous systems study, will be described. Particular attention will be devoted to the approaches which have been successful in producing NMR parameters maps of biomedical interest.
