Magnetic Particle Imaging
Welcome to COST Action "Magnetic Particle Imaging"
a pioneering initiative focused on advancing the rapidly emerging field of MPI, a non-invasive, cutting-edge biomedical imaging technique. This technique holds enormous potential for clinical diagnosis, therapy, and monitoring treatment outcomes—capabilities that other imaging methods cannot offer.
MPI uses non-toxic magnetic nanoparticles and operates without ionizing radiation, providing a safe and detailed imaging experience. The technology allows for real-time, quantitative imaging, revealing critical information such as the location and concentration of nanoparticles, their flow state, binding state, local viscosity, and temperature. Moreover, MPI’s ability to capture supralinear information by using nanoparticles with distinct properties sets it apart. When functionalized, these nanoparticles can be utilized for innovative theranostic approaches, combining diagnostics and therapy in a single system.
