A representative axial chicken nugget image showing the region
of interest for this study is shown in Fig.1a. Since MR images consist
of multiple slices, it was possible to combine the slices in MATLAB
and obtain a 3D view of the nuggets. Fig. 1b shows the cross sections
of the 3D view of the nugget sample.
Among the 2D images, mid slices were selected for T2 analysis. It
was possible to select the crust or core region in the image. Once
