ABSTRACTEarlier this year Lakes Radiology was approached by Scion in Rotorua about using MRI and CT as part of a research project to assess the amount of water in wood. This paper reviews the process of setting up scan protocols, problems encountered and how they were solved, the significance of using MRI and CT, how the information obtained from the scans has assisted the researchers and what has been learned from this experience.

INTRODUCTION
Background – who, what and whyTrials scans – setting things up Research series – modifications along the way Review – was it of value, and what I learned

BACKGROUND - DISCUSSION Research on different wood drying
processes
Why CT and MRI? Non-destructive measurement of the
moisture content of wood
What was different about this research? 1st time MR &CT used in same research
![Page 7: HEAPHY 1 & 2 DIAGNOSTIC Delia DEPHOFF](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56816467550346895dd650c6/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
BACKGROUND - WOOD DRYING PROCESSES
Kiln dried wood (KD) – dries from the outside –resulting in cracking and warping
Dewatered wood (DW) – basically replaces water in wood with alcohol which is then extracted – wood dried quickly from the inside – minimise cracking and warping

TRIAL SCANS

TRIAL SCANS - AIM
To scan the wood to set scan parameters
To assess the data obtained and determine if the information would be useful for the research.

3RD SERIES Results from 2nd series not quite as
expected Water content was down after 3 DW,
but increased after 5 DW, down again after 10DW
2x DW to 10 x DW Use alcohol as a reference

REVIEW
![Page 36: HEAPHY 1 & 2 DIAGNOSTIC Delia DEPHOFF](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56816467550346895dd650c6/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
WAS THE SCAN DATA OF HELPFUL FOR THEIR RESEARCH?
Yes and no PD most useful MR scan Amount of data, especially CT –
time to analyse Unexpected results
![Page 37: HEAPHY 1 & 2 DIAGNOSTIC Delia DEPHOFF](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56816467550346895dd650c6/html5/thumbnails/37.jpg)
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED? To get everything set on the trial
scans, minimise errors, variables – check all parameters match
If there are options (e.g. kernals) give all for analysis
Revise CT and MR physics
![Page 38: HEAPHY 1 & 2 DIAGNOSTIC Delia DEPHOFF](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56816467550346895dd650c6/html5/thumbnails/38.jpg)
WHAT HAVE I LEARNED? Water content of wood, free water and
bound water Wood drying processes – kiln, dewatering
and oven drying
You cannot measure the water content of a wet piece of wood, but you can measure how much water it used to contain once it has been dried.
![Page 39: HEAPHY 1 & 2 DIAGNOSTIC Delia DEPHOFF](https://reader030.vdocument.in/reader030/viewer/2022012905/56816467550346895dd650c6/html5/thumbnails/39.jpg)
WOULD I DO IT AGAIN?
YES!
