Recent advances and prospects for accelerated development in magnetic particle imaging

Abstract

The second issue of the sixth volume of the International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging presents three original research papers spanning theoretical and experimental studies designed to improve various aspects of existing MPI technology. The papers present methods for improving image reconstruction processes during magnetic particle imaging by the adoption of new statistical methods, for reducing artifacts in reconstructed images arising from non-ideal selection-field gradients, and a theoretical study modelling how the magnetic particle imaging signal is influenced by parameters of the nanoparticle tracer including the magnetic anisotropy and core radius. The papers provide a snap-shot of current advances in the engineering of magnetic particle imaging systems, and provide insight into how the development and uptake of the technology can be accelerated.
