3D Real-Time Magnetic Particle Imaging of Cerebral Blood Flow in Living Mice

Jrgen Rahmer¹, Bernhard Gleich¹, Jrgen Weizenecker², Jrn Borgert¹

The cerebral blood flow of living mice is imaged in real-time using magnetic particle imaging (MPI). This new medical imaging modality allows rapid imaging of 3D iron oxide nanoparticle distributions without anatomical background signal. For the experiments, an iron-oxide agent was bolus injected into the tail vein at clinically approved dosages.
