Time domain nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are well-known non-destructive characterization techniques that are used to evaluate food quality. Time domain NMR is primarily based on relaxation and diffusion measurements from the signal coming from the whole sample whereas MRI enables visualization of the interiors of intact foods on a macroscopic scale without disturbing the sample based on the differences on relaxation and diffusion. A common perception that using NMR/MRI for testing food is costly is no longer valid with the advances in low-field bench top NMR/MRI instruments. This short review paper discusses the most recent developments and examples of time domain NMR and MRI based sensors for different food applications.

Experimental and mathematical investigation of mass transfer in food andhydrogel systems using magnetic resonance imaging and NMR relaxometry
Çıkrıkcı, Sevil; Öztop, Halil Mecit; Department of Food Engineering (2019)
Nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) are well-known non-invasive characterization methods used in a wide range of areas; from medical to food applications. NMR experiments are conducted either through spectroscopy with high resolution systems or with relaxometery (Time Domain NMR) through mid or low field systems. Time domain NMR is primarily based on relaxation times and diffusion measurements from the signal coming from the whole sample while MRI enables to visualize the i...
RF Coil Design for MRI Applications in Inhomogeneous Main Magnetic Fields
Yılmaz, Ayşen; Eyueboglu, B. M. (2006-09-01)
Conventional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques require homogeneous main magnetic fields. However, MRI applications that are executed in inhomogenous main magnetic fields have been developed in recent years. In this study, RF coil geometries are designed for MRI applications in inhomogeneous magnetic fields. Method of moments is used to obtain the current density distribution on a predefined surface that can produce a desired magnetic field, which is perpendicular to the given inhomogenous main mag...

Göksu, Cihan; SADIGHI, MEHDI; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2014-08-26)
Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MRCDI) is an imaging modality, which reconstructs electrical current density distribution inside a material by using Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques. In this study, a current source with maximum current injection capability of 224.7mA, under 1k Omega resistive load is used. Experiments are performed with a 2D uniform phantom, in which a current steering insulator is inserted. Magnetic flux density distributions are measured, and current density images ...
Analysis of magnetic resonance imaging in inhomogenous main magnetic field
Arpınar, Volkan Emre; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2009)
In this study, analysis of Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in inhomogeneous main magnetic field is conducted. A numerical model based on Bloch equation is implemented for MRI, to understand effect of inhomogeneous magnetic field to Magnetic Resonance (MR) signal. Using the model, relations between inhomogeneity levels in main magnetic field with energy, decay time, bandwidth of the FID signal is investigated. Also relation between the magnetic field inhomogeneity and field of view is determined. To simulat...
Electrical impedance tomography using the magnetic field generated by injected currents
Birgul, O; Ider, YZ (1996-11-03)
In 2D EIT imaging, the internal distribution of the injected currents generate a magnetic field in the imaging region which can be measured by magnetic resonance imaging techniques. This magnetic field is perpendicular to the imaging region on the imaging region and it can be used in reconstructing the conductivity distribution inside the imaging region. For this purpose, internal current distribution is found using the finite element method. The magnetic fields due to this current is found using Biot-Savar...
