Abstract

In-vivo and in-vitro NMR Microscopy has been performed to investigate the histological and/or pathological difference between the normal and the abnormal skin layers. The acquired images in the present study were able to provide the information of both the relaxation changes and the histological changes due to skin abnormality. The present study is also intended to show the possibility of NMR Microscopy application to both the noninvasive investigation of skin pathology and the helpful use in the development of cosmetics.
