The new NMR method, demonstrated in the present work, allows within local small volumes the determination of integral structural parameters like the surface‐to‐pore volume ratio or the tortuosity of a fluid‐filled porous medium. A combination of conventional imaging (MRI) with measurements of observation‐time dependent self‐diffusion (dynamic imaging) was used.
