Interventional Magnetic Particle Imaging

Magnetic particle imaging is a new radiation-free tomographic imaging method providing fast, background-free, sensitive, directly quantifiable information about the spatial distribution of SPIOs at high temporal resolution. In this project we investigate its potential to offer an alternative to traditional Digital subtraction angiography in interventional procedures.

Multi-contrast MPI makes it possible to jointly image blood pool tracer and labeled cardiovascular devices.

Abstract: Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a novel tomographic radiation-free imaging technique that combines high spatial resolution and real-time capabilities, making it a promising tool to guide vascular interventions. Immediate availability of 3D image data is a major advantage over the presently used digital subtraction angiography (DSA), but new methods for real-time image analysis and visualization are also required to take full advantage of the MPI properties. This laboratory study illustrates respective techniques by means of three different patient-specific 3D vascular flow models.
