Abstract

Fast and accurate mapping of moisture distribution is essential to the study of heat and mass transfer in cheese during cooling. To be fast, the FLASH (fast low flip angle) sequence, a rapid scan MR imaging technique, is used. To acquire moisture-only images, CHESS is added to the FLASH sequence. The resulted image acquisition time is only about 3 seconds as compared with more than 10 minutes for conventional imaging sequence, and the T₁ and T₂ weighting is minimized in the moisture images acquired. The resulted moisture image of the cheese block is almost free of fat signal contamination.
