Abstract
Research and development have been underway for several years on the measurement of bone mineral content using phosphorus nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (PNMRS). An essential element of a PNMRS is the central portion of the airgap of the permanent magnet which provides a very steady homogeneous magnetic field over the region of sample. Homogeneity improvement is attained primarily by shimming. To predict the shim amount and location for the new magnet in this project, an expert system program using "fuzzy logic" method will be constructed in "C" language. The program uses an old "truthtable", from a previously shimmed magnet, and new measurements as the knowledgebase.
