Scaling Up Magnetic Particle Imaging Systems

Caption

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a highly sensitive emerging medical imaging technique. However, currently available scanners suffer from poor resolution and small field of view. Now, in a new study, researchers from Gwangju Institute of Science and Technology in Korea have developed an inexpensive, small MPI system with a high magnetic gradient and coverage volume that enables scanning of human-scale objects at high resolution.
