MRI for Carpets & Fabrics: Researchers Apply Medical Diagnostic Tool to Wide Range of Industrial Challenges

Link to News Release

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has significantly enhanced diagnostic medicine by allowing physicians to look deep inside the human body without using a scalpel. Now, researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology are applying the technique to a broad range of industrial processes, using MRI to watch carpet dry from the inside, peer into peanut shells, and study how fabrics wick moisture away from the body.
