Magnetic resonance imaging for non-invasive measurement of plastic ingestion in marine wildlife
peer reviewed Monitoring plastic ingestion by marine wildlife is important for both characterizing the extent of plastic pollution in the environment and understanding its effect on species and ecosystems. Current methods to detect plastic in the digestive system of animals are slow and invasive, su...
