A SURVEILLANCE UNIT FOR MAGNETIC PARTICLE IMAGING SYSTEMS

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new tomographic imaging technique. The idea of MPI is to exploit the nonlinear magnetization curve of superparamagnetic nanoparticles for imaging their spatial distribution. To achieve this, a complex hardware setup is necessary. This paper introduces a surveillance unit to monitor and secure the operation of high power MPI systems, to ensure system safety and accuracy.
