Over the previous three decades, the use of MRI for studying dynamic physical and chemical processes of materials systems has grown significantly. This mini‐review provides a brief introduction to relevant principles of MRI, including methods of spatial localization, factors contributing to image contrast, and chemical shift imaging. A few historical examples of 1 H MRI for reaction monitoring will be presented, followed by a review of recent research including 1 H MRI studies of gelation and biofilms, 1 H, 7 Li, and 11 B MRI studies of electrochemical systems, in vivo glucose metabolism monitored with 19 F MRI, and in situ temperature monitoring with 27 Al MRI.
