In this work a first human-sized Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) scanner designed and specifically engineered for experimental (cardio)vascular interventions is presented.
Based on a novel open design implementing the so called traveling wave MPI approach, the open iMPI system provides imaging of Tracers based on superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with high sensitivity, optimal patient handling and would even allow hybrid imaging of magnetic tracers within gold standard x-ray based interventional angiography systems.
In initial experiments, the feasibility of a human-sized interventional MPI scanner with real-time data reconstruction and image visualization is demonstrated.
