Abstract
The ability of nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy to distinguish normal, diseased nonneoplastic, and neoplastic human breast tissues was investigated with T1 and T2 relaxation times used. The results indicated that NMR relaxation times could distinguish between the mean values of breast neoplasms and other diseased or normal tissues, with P values 2 may be more discriminating than T1. These results support the view that the use of NMR spectroscopy in cancer detection may be of significant value and warrants considerable more interest and effort to determine the beneficial applications and limits of this technology.Keywords
