Magnetic Field Distribution Measurement of Thin-layers Using Magnetic Resonance Imaging Sequences

Magnetic field distribution measurement and imaging of thin layers using magnetic resonance techniques on biological samples have been performed. The resultant image represents the magnetic susceptibility distribution in the sample. An NMR imaging method susceptible to the homogeneity of magnetic field Gradient Echo was used. Since the investigated physical or biological samples did not generate any NMR signal, a homogeneous phantom (reference medium) was used a container filled with water as a medium. An image acquired by this method is actually a projection of the sample properties onto the homogeneous phantom. The method could be applied in nanotechnology, microelectronics and especially in the biological and medical sciences.
