1D Imaging with a Single-Sided FFL Magnetic Particle Imaging Scanner

Abstract

Over the past decade, various MPI scanner topologies have been demonstrated, which included a single-sided scanner. Such a scanner features all its hardware located on one side, offering accessibility without limitations due to the size of the object of interest. The original scanner design utilized a field-free point making it very robust in the hardware implementation. In our design of a single-sided scanner we utilize a field-free line, which provides higher sensitivity and robust image reconstruction. In this work we demonstrate first one-dimensional imaging with a single-sided field-free line MPI scanner.
