Abstract
The present invention relates generally to the field of magnetic resonance imaging and, more particularly, to devices and methods used in the observation of the diffusion of molecules across a permeable membrane using magnetic resonance techniques. A typical embodiment of the invention is a method of observing the diffusion of a molecule in a container having a permeable membrane that is disposed between a first solution and a second solution in the container, by using magnetic resonance imaging to obtain an image of the diffusion of the molecule in the first solution across the membrane in to the second solution.
