Magnetic Particle Imaging System for Cancer Diagnosis: an Overview
نویسندگان
چکیده
Medical diagnosis over the last decades have been reformed by tomographic imaging and has become a vital tool for diagnosis of several diseases. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) as a new quantitative imaging method, uses the nonlinear re-magnetization behavior of magnetic nanoparticles to determine their local concentration. This paper presents an overview of a proposed method to design and construct an MPI scanner that will diagnose cancer. It is expected at the end of the research to come up with an extremely sensitive scanner that will detect the position of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs) used as tracers in diagnosing cancer by producing a high temporal and spatial resolution images.

The years 1895 to 1898 were momentous for their impact on health and human well beings. First, Wilhelm Roentgen noted a glowing fluorescent screen, caused by invisible rays. This event subsequently led to the discovery of X-rays in 1895, and thus the birth of the “atomic ageâ€. Next Becquerel’s investigations of these mysterious rays led to his experiments with uranium salt crystals. He th...
