Abstract
The conventional closed-bore MPI scanners restrict the imaging volume. A single-sided MPI scanner design allows for an unrestricted imaging volume, uniquely enabling the imaging of objects larger than those accommodated by commercially available MPI scanners. Here, we demonstrate our single-sided scanner's capabilities for potential breast cancer screening by imaging a large anatomical breast phantom.
