Tomographic Magnetic Particle Imaging With a Single-Sided Field-Free Line Scanner.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a biomedical imaging modality that shows promise in enhancing clinical imaging capabilities. While there are current efforts to expand MPI hardware to enable whole-body and head imaging, this comes at a significant cost in terms of complexity and expense.

Methods

A single-sided scanner can offer greater accessibility to the scanning area, as all hardware is located on one side of the device's surface, however, at the price of the limited penetration depth. Despite this, a single-sided device could serve as an open geometry preclinical scanner and a clinical instrument for local screening and procedures. The original single-sided device was introduced for a field-free point encoding gradient, which may limit its practical character
