Abstract

Since the first publication in 2005, several different scanner types for magnetic particle imaging (MPI) have been presented. One of these scanner concepts is traveling wave MPI (TWMPI). It uses a dynamic linear gradient array, which generates and moves a field free point with a strong gradient, which is necessary for scanning the sample in 3-D. Due to the linear properties of the TWMPI device, very fast 2-D imaging with frame rates higher than 1500 frames/s is possible (superspeed mode). Using the superspeed mode different high speed measurements are conceivable, e.g., fluid-dynamic investigations.
