Recent Developments on System Function/Matrix Representation, Hybrid Simulation Techniques, and Magnetic Actuation

The first issue of the sixth volume of the International Journal on Magnetic Particle Imaging presents four papers focusing on different aspects of the image reconstruction problem in magnetic particle imaging (MPI) and developments in magnetic actuation. The original research articles provide deeper insights into system function/matrix representation in terms of Chebyshev polynomials and they exploit a singular value decomposition (SVD) approach to reduce the size of the imaging problem. Introducing new experimental techniques enable gathering insights in the MPI methodology and magnetic actuation applications benefit from the development and analysis of new tools.   Int. J. Mag.
