Outline of Final Research Achievements

The purpose of this study was to establish a nondestructive tree-ring measurement for wooden cultural properties in various preservation states by applying clinical imaging equipment such as MRI, CT, and DBT (Digital breast tomosynthesis) to dendrochronology.
CT was suitable for imaging dry wood (e.g., handed down art objects) while MRI was suitable for imaging waterlogged wood (e.g., excavated wooden artifacts, preserved wood in water).The tree-ring curve created by ultra-high-resolution imaging at 0.05 mm spatial resolution using MRI, which we developed as a new imaging method, was consistent with the conventional method using an optical scanner. DBT was found suitable for tree-ring measurement of wood preserved with PEG.It was possible to perform a nondestructive and detailed tree-ring measurement by selecting a clinical image device based on the preservation state of the wooden cultural assets.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

木質文化財の年代測定法としては放射性炭素年代測定法および年輪年代測定法があるが、双方とも資料を切り出したり、年輪を露出させるために表面を研磨したりといった工程があり、貴重な資料の一部を破壊しなくてはならない。
そこで臨床用画像検査機器(MRI装置,CT装置およびDBT:Digital breast tomosynthesis)を年輪年代学へ応用し,種々の保存状態の木質文化財に対する非破壊画像化および年輪年代測定法を確立する.
