Low-noise Broadband Receive Amplifier for Real-Time Magnetic Particle Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Introduction Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new tomographic imaging modality first presented in 2005 [1]. It directly and quantitatively images the concentration of iron-oxide nano-particle. By means of a broadband data acquisition, MPI also is a very fast imaging modality allowing real-time volumetric imaging [2, 3]. After a motivation for broadband reception, this abstract describes the inherent challenges of and a technical solution for a low-noise broadband receive amplifier for MPI. This new amplifier is part of a new pre-clinical MPI system with ~12cm bore size.
