  • Abstract
    Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of water can be used to locate and measure air bubbles inside complex fluid-processing equipment, such as water filters, blood filters, and kidney dialysis modules. Importantly, not only can the bubble itself be studied, but it is also possible to investigate the effect of the bubble on the proper functioning of the item of the equipment in question.
