Dual Mode Imaging of Phantoms in Two Orthogonal Planes with a Single-Sided FFL MPI Scanner

Abstract

A number of MPI scanner configurations have recently emerged in pursuit of clinical imaging capabilities. A single-sided scanner stands out as one of the promising designs, featuring hardware located exclusively on one side of the device. This approach grants the scanner access to an unhindered imaging volume. Our research group has suggested and developed a variant of the single-sided scanner employing Field-Free Line (FFL) for spatial encoding. In this work, we present the complete small-scale prototype of an FFL MPI scanner by demonstrating imaging phantoms in two orthogonal planes using two different imaging methods.
