2. MATERIALS AND METHODS which coupled with the explosive growth ct digital computers, is playing an important role in medical imaging over the last several years. Magnetic resonance imaging has advanced as a tomographic technique to produce images ct the inside of the human body. Fat and water, which primarily make up the human body, have many hydrogen atoms. MRI images an NMR signal from the hydrogen nuclei. Therefore development of NMR imaging has enhanced our ability to diagnose and monitor diseases. Because NMR is particularly sensitive to the proton magnetic moment of water and organic compounds, Edelstein and Schulson (1991) applied NMR imaging to visualize drainage channels within salt-water ice. Manfres et. aI. (2000) used NMR to visualize oil diffusion into sea ice. Although there have been several studies on NMR imaging of sea ice, there have been few attempts to use NMR to visualize snowpack. In this study, an NMR imaging system with a small temperature-controlled chamber was developed, and then used to visualize snowpack samples.
