Talk Title: Hand-portable NMR Instrument for Point of Care Diagnostics
Series: Medical Imaging Seminar Series
Abstract: Open-concept NMR sensors have been used in the oil industry for over 20 years. Single-sided NMR probes are effective tools for in-situ material assessment for large objects. This has been demonstrated in applications such as moisture in wood, near surface water content in soil and rubber cross-linking in tires. Similar concepts can be utilized to inspect skin tissue and even fat content in the human liver. During this presentation we will discuss general aspects of open-concept NMR instrumentation.
