Rapid Relaxation-Based Color MPI

Color magnetic particle imaging (MPI) techniques have recently gained popularity, with the purposes of distinguishing different nanoparticle types or nanoparticles in different environments. In this work, we extend a relaxation-based color MPI technique that we recently proposed, and make it applicable to rapid trajectories that distort the underlying mirror symmetry of the adiabatic MPI signal. We propose a method to recover the mirror symmetry, with delay and signal amplitude compensations. The proposed technique rapidly produces a relaxation map of the scanned region, without any prior information about the nanoparticles.    Int. J. Mag. Part.
