Abstract

This work demonstrates the application of ellipsoidal harmonic expansions for magnetic field representation in Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) using measured data. While previous studies focused on simulated fields, we validate the method with field data acquired from a selection field generator of an MPI head imaging system using an ellipsoidal t-design. The approach is validated by comparing the harmonic expansion results to dense principal axis measurements, confirming accurate field characterization. This study highlights the potential of ellipsoidal harmonics to improve the speed and accuracy of magnetic field measurements and representation in MPI.
