Abstract

Magnetic Particle Imaging is a new tomographic imaging technique detecting the presence of magnetic nanoparticles. This paper introduces the elaborate hardware behind MPI and the technical solutions needed to obtain 3D realtime images. As an example of the imaging capabilities of MPI, results of an in vivo lung perfusion study of a mouse are shown.
