摘要:
A foodstuff item characteristic detection system (10) comprising: a magnetic resonance imaging, MRI, apparatus (12); a conveyor (14,16,18) for conveying a plurality of foodstuff items (11) such that the foodstuff items are imaged by the MRI apparatus (12) to produce MRI image data; and a computer configured to process the process the MRI image data to enhance the image data such that a predetermined foodstuff item characteristic is identifiable. The system (10) is configured such that, in use, a plurality of foodstuff items (11) are conveyed by the conveyor (14,16,18) such that all of the foodstuff items (11) are imaged by the MRI apparatus (12) to produce MRI image data and the MRI image data is processed by the computer to enhance the MRI image data such that the predetermined foodstuff item characteristic is identifiable.
