nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (new-kli-er) n. the absorption and emission of high-frequency radio waves by the nuclei of certain elements when placed in a strong magnetic field. The strongest signal is obtained from hydrogen atoms, which are abundant in the water and organic molecules in the body. NMR has important applications in noninvasive diagnostic techniques. See magnetic resonance imaging.
