PhD: Comparing different magnetic particle imaging scanner architectures

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a preclinical, diagnostic imaging modality that can be used to specifically and quantitatively represent magnetic nanoparticle distributions in the body. A third-party funded (DFG) joint research project with TU Ilmenau is intended to achieve a consistent comparability of the different scanner architectures that are currently used around the globe. For this purpose, novel platform-independent phantoms are to be developed to enable and accelerate multicenter preclinical MPI studies. In addition, a planning tool is to be developed to select the best possible measurement configuration (or MPI scanner architecture) for a given MPI measurement task and to estimate the success prospects.
