Fagus sylvatica

L.) infected with the brown rot fungus Coniophora puteana (Schum.) Karst was examined 12 and 26 days after incubation using magnetic resonance imaging. We were able to detect areas containing free water attributed to fungal activity 12 days after incubation. Magnetic resonance imaging was found to be a useful tool for determining early stages of fungal decay in wood prior to any visible damage.

Fagus sylvatica

L.) der Dimension 35 × 35 × 120 mm3 wurde mit dem Braunfäulepilz Coniophora puteana (Schum.) Karst. infiziert. Nach 12 bzw. 26 Tagen Pilzaktivität wurde die Probe mit der Magnet-Resonanz-Tomographie untersucht. Mit dieser Methode konnten Bereiche mit erhöhtem Wassergehalt, der durch die Pilzaktivität verursacht wurde, bereits nach 12 Tagen nachgewiesen werden. Die Magnet-Resonanz-Tomographie stellte sich dabei als eine Methode der frühzeitigen und verläßlichen Fäuleerkennung dar.
