Abstract

An imaging apparatus using nuclear magnetic resonance is disclosed in which both an image corresponding to the projection of a nuclear spin distribution in a to-be-inspected object on a two-dimensional plane and a display mark indicating a desired measuring position are displayed on a display face of a display device such as a CRT display, the display mark is freely moved on the display face to be set at a desired position on the display face, and magnetic field generating means for generating a static magnetic field, linear gradient field, or radio frequency magnetic field is controlled on the basis of the desired position of the display mark to obtain an image of that cross section of the object which is located at a position indicated by the display mark.
