title: Study of water migration by micro MR imaging.
abstract: Magnetic Resonance (MR) microscopy is a noninvasive tool that enables high resolution imaging of water concentration in non-magnetic materials. In this study, water migration in a dense porous material (dental cement) was monitored by 1D MR microscopy. The measured concentration profiles were later analyzed via three different migration models: an imbibition model, a diffusion model and a combined model. From the best fit to the experimental data, model parameters were obtained.
