Abstract :
Currently, one of the main issues to improve the image quality of Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI), besides the development of applicable MPI scanner systems and reconstruction methods, is the improvement of magnetic properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNP), the so-called MPI tracer. Optimized tracers potentially enhance mass sensitivity and spatial resolution of MPI and may be the key for successful clinical MPI [1].
