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

摘要

Method comprising obtaining an NMR measurement from a sample wherein an ultra-low field NMR system probes the sample and produces the NMR measurement and wherein a sampling temperature, prepolarizing field, and measurement field are known; detecting the NMR measurement by means of inductive coils;analyzing the NMR measurement to obtain at least one measurement feature wherein the measurement feature comprises Tl, T2, Tip, or the frequency dependence thereof; and, searching for the at least one measurement feature within a database comprising NMR reference data for at least one material to determine if the sample comprises a material of interest.
