An x-space magnetic particle imaging scanner

Rev Sci Instrum. 2012 Mar;83(3):033708. doi: 10.1063/1.3694534.

Abstract

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an imaging modality with great promise for high-contrast, high-sensitivity imaging of iron oxide tracers in animals and humans. In this paper, we present the first x-space MPI hardware and reconstruction software; show experimentally measured signals; detail our reconstruction technique; and present images of resolution and "angiography" phantoms.
