A preliminary study of high resolution P31 nuclear resonance of normal and malignant tissue is reported. Utilization of nuclear resonance in the frequency frame contrasts with the pulsed magnetic resonance studies originally introduced for investigating cancer. Frequency dependent NMR was employed to study cancer with the primary objective of identifying resonant frequencies that could be used to indicate cancer. Such cancer specific frequencies would help circumvent current difficulties in the pulsed resonance diagnosis of cancer and might even have application in therapy.
