摘要

We have developed a new systems theory for analyzing Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI), x-space MPI, that motivates an image reconstruction technique requiring only a simple scaling and mapping of the raw signal to image space.~1 As a result, reconstruction time scales linearly with image size. Moreover, we expect there to be no noise gain due to performing a matrix inverse. Reconstruction is simple and can be performed in real-time. Furthermore, there is no "System Function" and no requirement to pre-characterize the nanoparticle in the imaging system before imaging. So far, there has not been an experimental test of the x-space theory on an imaging system. In this paper we begin by describing the theoretical signal that we would expect from the imager for a SPIO nanoparticle source. We then construct a small scale MPI imager to test x-space. We conclude with images from the x-space scanner using the iron oxide tracer Resovist. Our preliminary images show 1.6 mm spatial resolution using a 6.0 T/m gradient that closely matches the expected image resolution from x-space theory. In conclusion, our data supports the theory that MPI can be considered a linear, shift invariant system. This bodes well for the future as we scale MPI scanners to human sizes as large images can be reconstructed simply and rapidly.
