ULTRA-LOW FIELD NUCLEAR MAGNETIC RESONANCE METHOD TO DISCRIMINATE AND IDENTIFY MATERIALS

An ultra-low field (ULF) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system can be used for rapid identification and discrimination of materials, e.g., liquid in opaque containers and/or materials in or on human bodies. The system utilizes the ability of ULF NMR/MRI to m...

More Information
Summary:An ultra-low field (ULF) nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and/or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system can be used for rapid identification and discrimination of materials, e.g., liquid in opaque containers and/or materials in or on human bodies. The system utilizes the ability of ULF NMR/MRI to measure NMR parameters in magnetic fields that can be easily changed in field strength and orientation.
