EARTHWORM will develop a new paradigm of adaptive and focused comprehensive Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) techniques to study peristaltic motion and the underlying microstructure throughout the human body. Peristaltic motion is responsible for multiple key functions in the human body such as food transport through the gastro-intestinal system, the rapid and directed sperm transport and embryo implantation and retrograde menstruation for the preservation of body iron.
