Abstract

Magnetic resonance’s potential is already proven in the clinical sector and for non-destructive testing also in the laboratory environment. With recent developments in technology today’s small and midsized often portable MR systems are also able to work in an industrial setup and in the field. Therefore, the number of MR applications is rapidly increasing as is the acceptance of MR as technique for non-destructive testing. Selected examples for magnetic resonance in polymers, in porous media and in food samples are shown here.

Zusammenfassung

Die Anwendbarkeit der Magnetresonanz im klinischen Umfeld und zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung im Laboreinsatz ist hinlänglich bekannt und gezeigt. Dank technischer Verbesserungen in den letzten Jahren können moderne kleine und mittelgroße, oft portable MR-Systeme heute auch im industriellen Umfeld und in Feldstudien eingesetzt werden. Darauf basierend steigt die Anzahl der MR-Anwendungen und deren Akzeptanz als Technik zur zerstörungsfreien Prüfung rasch an. Hier werden ausgewählte Beispiele zu MR-Anwendungen im Bereich von Polymeren, porösen Materialien und Nahrungsmitteln vorgestellt.
