Magnetic Nanoparticles: Particle Science, Imaging Technology, And Clinical Applications - Proceedings Of The First International Workshop On Magnetic Particle Imaging

In these proceedings, an overview on recent results of a novel imaging modality based on magnetic nanoparticles is given. This imaging concept, called magnetic particle imaging (MPI), falls into the category of functional imaging and, hence, the magnetic nanoparticles may serve as tracers of metabolic processes. Today, there are interesting challenges within the practical set-up of a scanning devi...
