Nondestructive measurement of intramuscular fat content of fresh beef meat by a hand-held magnetic resonance sensor

To realize nondestructive in-situ quantification of intramuscular fat in fresh beef meat, a lightweight (5.0-kg) hand-held sensor that consists of a planar radio-frequency coil and a unilateral (i.e., single-sided) magnetic circuit was constructed as a subunit of a time-domain proton magnetic resona...
