Fast continuous motion of the field of view in magnetic particle imaging

When shifting the FOV during imaging, artifacts arise when the shift per volume encoding time is larger than the resolution. Up to shift velocities of about 1 m/s, these can be removed by compensating the system function for the rapid translation. Fast continuous FOV shifts may be used to rapidly steer a single imaging volume to a region of interest or to achieve large spatial coverage by repeatedly sweeping the FOV through a volume of interest.
