Name of the Instrument/Platform

Magnetic Insights MOMENTUM Magnetic Particle Imaging System

Introduction

MPI technical specifications
1. Integrated CT module, allowing the exact localisationMPI
2. of magnetic particles
3. HYPER module, offering millimetre heating accuracy and real-time monitoring of the therapeutic heat dose
4. 0-5.7 T/m (variable) field strength
5. X gradient coil set (two individual main coils) magnet configuration
6. Field of view: 6 cm × 6 cm × 12 cm
7. RF transmit strength: > 15 mT in (X,Z)
8. 2 transmit channels (X,Z), 2 receive channels (X,Z)
9. Image sequences: 2D projection, 3D tomographic
10. Animal bed with fiducials for multimodal co-registration

Feature Highlights

1. The Magnetic Insight system currently offers the world's highest sensitivity and resolution of MPI images
2. Simple to operate, eliminating the need for a dedicated scanner operator and allowing researchers to acquire their own data
3. Avoids the radiation burden of PET, and when used without CT removes the x-ray dose

Applications

Quantitative molecular imaging
Localised hyperthermia

Technical Capabilities

1. Molecular imaging with targeted iron oxide particles
2. Tracking of cells labelled with iron oxide particles
3. Controlled heating of tissue after iron oxide accumulation

Summary

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new non-invasive imaging method that detects iron oxide nanoparticles to produce 2D and 3D images. MPI imaging is more sensitive and significantly faster than MRI and PET imaging.
