Future of MPI scanner. (A) An integrated MPI-MRI system designed by Bruker BioSpin GmbH and University of RWTH, Achen. Image shows a cavity phantom with MRI image in greyscale and MPI image rendered in red scale. (Adapted with permission from105) (B) A human scale head MPI scanner design demonstrating the FFL region using a x-z gradient of 1 T m–1 (Reproduced under the creative common license from106). (C) Magnetostimulation limit and SAR estimate in human torso (graph reproduced with permission from107), PNS is the dominant safety concern for MPI at drive field frequency <42 kHz. FFL, field-free line; MPI, magnetic particle imaging; PNS, peripheral nerve stimulation.
