APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR LOCATING MAGNETIC PARTICLES

摘要

The present invention relates to an apparatus (100) and a method for detecting and/or locating at least two different types of magnetic particles in a field of view (28), in particular for magnetic particle imaging (MPI). While generally only a single type of magnetic particles is used, i.e. provided in the field of view, according to the present invention at least two different types are used. The system function data related to said different types of magnetic particles are acquired in advance and are used during reconstruction to distinguish and process the detection signals resulting from said different types of magnetic particles.
