Abstract
Purpose Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging medical imaging modality that is on the verge of clinical use. In recent years, cardiovascular applications have shown huge potential like, e.g., intraprocedural imaging guidance of stent placement through MPI. Due to the lack of signal generation, nano-modifications have been necessary to visualize commercial medical instruments until now. In this work, it is investigated if commercial interventional devices can be tracked with MPI without any nano-modification. Material and Methods Potential MPI signal generation of nine endovascular metal stents was tested in a commercial MPI scanner. Two of the stents revealed sufficient MPI signal. Because one of the two stents showed relevant heating, the imaging experiments were carried out with a single stent model (Boston Scientific/Wallstent-Uni Endoprothesis, diameter: 16 mm, length: 60 mm). The nitinol stent and its delivery system were investigated in seven different scenarios. Therefore, the samples were placed at 49 defined spatial positions by a robot in a meandering pattern during MPI scans. Image reconstruction was performed, and the mean absolute errors (MAE) between the signals' centers of mass (COM) and ground truth positions were calculated. The stent material was investigated by magnetic particle spectroscopy (MPS) and vibrating sample magnetometry (VSM). To detect metallic components within the delivery system, nondestructive testing via computed tomography was performed. Results The tracking of the stent and its delivery system was possible without any nano-modification. The MAE of the COM were 1.49 mm for the stent mounted on the delivery system, 3.70 mm for the expanded stent and 1.46 mm for the delivery system without the stent. The results of the MPS and VSM measurements indicate that besides material properties eddy currents seem to be responsible for signal generation. Conclusion It is possible to image medical instruments with dedicated designs without modifications by means of MPI. This enables a variety of applications without compromising the mechanical and biocompatible properties of the instruments.

Abstract
An effective combination of magnetic hyperthermia and thermometry is shown to be implementable by using magnetic nanoparticles which behave either as a heat sources or as temperature sensors when excited at two different frequencies. Noninteracting magnetite nanoparticles are modeled as double-well systems and their magnetization is obtained by solving rate equations. Two temperature sensitive properties derived from the cyclic magnetization and exhibiting a linear dependence on temperature are studied and compared for monodisperse and polydisperse nanoparticles. The multifunctional effects enabling the combination of magnetic hyperthermia and thermometry are shown to depend on the interplay among nanoparticle size, intrinsic magnetic properties and driving-field frequency. Magnetic hyperthermia and thermometry can be effectively combined by properly tailoring the magnetic properties of nanoparticles and the driving-field frequencies.

Abstract
PURPOSE The programmed cell death protein-1 (PD-1) and programmed cell death ligand-1 (PD-L1) expression correlate with the immunotherapeutic response rate. The sensitive and non-invasive imaging of immune checkpoint biomarkers is favorable for the accurate detection and characterization, image-guided immunotherapy in cancer precision medicine. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI), as a novel and emerging imaging modality, possesses the advantages of high sensitivity, no image depth limitation, positive contrast, and absence of radiation. Hence, in this study, we performed the pioneer investigation of monitoring PD-L1 expression using MPI and the MPI-guided immunotherapy. METHODS We developed anti-PD-L1 antibody (aPDL1)-conjugated magnetic fluorescent hybrid nanoparticles (MFNPs-aPDL1) and utilized MPI in combination with fluorescence imaging (FMI) to dynamically monitor and quantify PD-L1 expression in various tumors with different PD-L1 expression levels. The ex vivo real-time polymerase chain reaction (qPCR), western blotting, and immunofluorescence staining analysis were further performed to validate the in vivo imaging observation. Moreover, the MPI was further performed for the guidance of immunotherapy. RESULTS Our data showed that PD-L1 expression can be specifically and sensitively monitored and quantified using MPI and FMI imaging methods, which were validated by ex vivo qPCR and western blotting analysis. In addition, MPI-guided PD-L1 immunotherapy can enhance the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapy. CONCLUSION To our best knowledge, this is the pioneer study to utilize MPI in combination with a newly developed MFNPs-aPDL1 imaging probe to dynamically visualize and quantify PD-L1 expression in tumor microenvironment. This imaging strategy may facilitate the clinical optimization of immunotherapy management.

Heating of Large Endovascular Stents and Stent Grafts in Magnetic Particle Imaging-Influence of Measurement Parameters and Isocenter Distance. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2023; 46:392-399. [PMID: 36513764 PMCID: PMC10014652 DOI: 10.1007/s00270-022-03324-7] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/07/2022] [Accepted: 11/17/2022] [Indexed: 12/15/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tomographic imaging modality with the potential for cardiovascular applications. In this context, the extent to which stents are heated should be estimated from safety perspective. Furthermore, the influence of the measurement parameters and stent distance to the isocenter of the MPI scanner on stent heating were evaluated. MATERIALS AND METHODS Nine different endovascular stents and stent grafts were tested in polyvinyl-chloride tubes. The stents had diameters from 10 to 31 mm, lengths between 25 and 100 mm and were made from stainless steel, nitinol or cobalt-chromium. The temperature differences were recorded with fiber-optic thermometers. All measurements were performed in a preclinical commercial MPI scanner. The measurement parameters were varied (drive field strengths: 3, 6, 9, 12 mT and selection field gradients: 0, 1.25 and 2.5 T/m). Furthermore, measurements with different distances to the scanner's isocenter were performed (100 to 0 mm). RESULTS All stents showed heating (maximum 53.1 K, minimum 4.6 K). The stent diameter directly correlated with the temperature increase. The drive field strength influenced the heating of the stents, whereas the selection field gradient had no detectable impact. The heating of the stents decreased with increasing distance from the scanner's isocenter and thus correlated with the loss of the scanner's magnetic field. CONCLUSION Stents can cause potentially harmful heating in MPI. In addition to the stent diameter and design, the drive field strength and the distance to the MPI scanner's isocenter must be kept in mind as influencing parameters.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a novel emerging noninvasive and radiation-free imaging modality that can quantify superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles tracers. The zero endogenous tissue background signal and short image scanning times ensure high spatial and temporal resolution of MPI. In the context of precision medicine, the advantages of MPI provide a new strategy for the integration of the diagnosis and treatment of diseases. In this review, after a brief explanation of the simplified theory and imaging system, we focus on recent advances in the biomedical application of MPI, including vascular structure and perfusion imaging, cancer imaging, the MPI guidance of magnetic fluid hyperthermia, the visual monitoring of cell and drug treatments, and intraoperative navigation. We finally optimize MPI in terms of the system and tracers, and present future potential biomedical applications of MPI.

Abstract
The purpose of this work was to develop instrument markers that are visible in both magnetic particle imaging (MPI) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). The instrument markers were based on two different magnetic nanoparticle types (synthesized in-house KLB and commercial Bayoxide E8706). Coatings containing one of both particle types were fabricated and measured with a magnetic particle spectrometer (MPS) to estimate their MPI performance. Coatings based on both particle types were then applied on a segment of a nonmetallic guidewire. Imaging experiments were conducted using a commercial, preclinical MPI scanner and a preclinical 1 tesla MRI system. MPI image reconstruction was performed based on system matrices measured with dried KLB and Bayoxide E8706 coatings. The bimodal markers were clearly visible in both methods. They caused circular signal voids in MRI and areas of high signal intensity in MPI. Both the signal voids as well as the areas of high signal intensity were larger than the real marker size. Images that were reconstructed with a Bayoxide E8706 system matrix did not show sufficient MPI signal. Instrument markers with bimodal visibility are essential for the perspective of monitoring cardiovascular interventions with MPI/MRI hybrid systems.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging tracer-based modality that enables real-time three-dimensional imaging of the non-linear magnetisation produced by superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs), in the presence of an external oscillating magnetic field. As a technique, it produces highly sensitive radiation-free tomographic images with absolute quantitation. Coupled with a high contrast, as well as zero signal attenuation at-depth, there are essentially no limitations to where that can be imaged within the body. These characteristics enable various biomedical applications of clinical interest. In the opening sections of this review, the principles of image generation are introduced, along with a detailed comparison of the fundamental properties of this technique with other common imaging modalities. The main feature is a presentation on the up-to-date literature for the development of SPIONs tailored for improved imaging performance, and developments in the current and promising biomedical applications of this emerging technique, with a specific focus on theranostics, cell tracking and perfusion imaging. Finally, we will discuss recent progress in the clinical translation of MPI. As signal detection in MPI is almost entirely dependent on the properties of the SPION employed, this work emphasises the importance of tailoring the synthetic process to produce SPIONs demonstrating specific properties and how this impacts imaging in particular applications and MPI's overall performance.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is an emerging imaging modality for quantitative direct imaging of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPION or SPIO). With different physics from MRI, MPI benefits from ideal image contrast with zero background tissue signal. This enables clear visualization of cancer with image characteristics similar to PET or SPECT, but using radiation-free magnetic nanoparticles instead, with infinite-duration reporter persistence in vivo. MPI for cancer imaging: demonstrated months of quantitative imaging of the cancer-related immune response with in situ SPION-labelling of immune cells (e.g., neutrophils, CAR T-cells). Because MPI suffers absolutely no susceptibility artifacts in the lung, immuno-MPI could soon provide completely noninvasive early-stage diagnosis and treatment monitoring of lung cancers. MPI for magnetic steering: MPI gradients are ~150 × stronger than MRI, enabling remote magnetic steering of magneto-aerosol, nanoparticles, and catheter tips, enhancing therapeutic delivery by magnetic means. MPI for precision therapy: gradients enable focusing of magnetic hyperthermia and magnetic-actuated drug release with up to 2 mm precision. The extent of drug release from the magnetic nanocarrier can be quantitatively monitored by MPI of SPION's MPS spectral changes within the nanocarrier. CONCLUSION MPI is a promising new magnetic modality spanning cancer imaging to guided-therapy.

Abstract
Stroke is one of the leading worldwide causes of death and sustained disability. Rapid and accurate assessment of cerebral perfusion is essential to diagnose and successfully treat stroke patients. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new technology with the potential to overcome some limitations of established imaging modalities. It is an innovative and radiation-free imaging technique with high sensitivity, specificity, and superior temporal resolution. MPI enables imaging and diagnosis of stroke and other neurological pathologies such as hemorrhage, tumors, and inflammatory processes. MPI scanners also offer the potential for targeted therapies of these diseases. Due to lower field requirements, MPI scanners can be designed as resistive magnets and employed as mobile devices for bedside imaging. With these advantages, MPI could accelerate and improve the diagnosis and treatment of neurological disorders. This review provides a basic introduction to MPI, discusses its current use for stroke imaging, and addresses future applications, including the potential for clinical implementation. This article is categorized under: Diagnostic Tools > In Vivo Nanodiagnostics and Imaging Therapeutic Approaches and Drug Discovery > Nanomedicine for Neurological Disease.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) has recently emerged as a promising non-invasive imaging technique because of its signal linearly propotional to the tracer mass, ability to generate positive contrast, low tissue background, unlimited tissue penetration depth, and lack of ionizing radiation. The sensitivity and resolution of MPI are highly dependent on the properties of magnetic nanoparticles (MNPs), and extensive research efforts have been focused on the design and synthesis of tracers. This review examines parameters that dictate the performance of MNPs, including size, shape, composition, surface property, crystallinity, the surrounding environment, and aggregation state to provide guidance for engineering MPI tracers with better performance. Finally, we discuss applications of MPI imaging and its challenges and perspectives in clinical translation.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tomographic imaging technique for determining the spatial distribution of superparamagnetic nanoparticles. Current MPI systems are capable of imaging iron masses over a wide dynamic range of more than four orders of magnitude. In theory, this range could be further increased using adaptive amplifiers, which prevent signal clipping. While this applies to a single sample, the dynamic range is severely limited if several samples with different concentrations or strongly inhomogeneous particle distributions are considered. One scenario that occurs quite frequently in pre-clinical applications is that a highly concentrated tracer bolus in the vascular system 'shadows' nearby organs with lower effective tracer concentrations. The root cause of the problem is the ill-posedness of the MPI imaging operator, which requires regularization for stable reconstruction. In this work, we introduce a simple two-step algorithm that increases the dynamic range by a factor of four. Furthermore, the algorithm enables spatially adaptive regularization, i.e. highly concentrated signals can be reconstructed with maximum spatial resolution, while low concentrated signals are strongly regularized to prevent noise amplification.

Abstract
Magnetic micromachines can be controlled remotely inside the human body by application of external magnetic fields, making them promising candidates for minimally invasive local therapy delivery. For many therapeutic scenarios, a large team of micromachines is required, but a convincing approach for controlling individual team members is currently missing. We present a method for selective control of identical helical micromachines based on their spatial position. The micromachines are operated by uniform rotating fields, whereas spatial selection is achieved by application of a strong field gradient that locks all machines except those located inside a small movable volume. We deliver experimental evidence of three-dimensional selective actuation with a spatial selectivity on the order of millimeters over a workspace large enough for clinical applications. Selective control of teams of helical micromachines may improve minimally invasive therapeutic approaches and may lead to more flexible local drug delivery systems or adaptive medical implants. As an example, we propose a concept for adaptive radiation treatment in cancer therapy based on selective switching of radioactive sources distributed inside a tumor.

Abstract
Purpose Endovascular stents are medical devices, which are implanted in stenosed blood vessels to ensure sufficient blood flow. Due to a high rate of in-stent re-stenoses, there is the need of a noninvasive imaging method for the early detection of stent occlusion. The evaluation of the stent lumen with computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is limited by material-induced artifacts. The purpose of this work is to investigate the potential of the tracer-based modality magnetic particle imaging (MPI) for stent lumen visualization and quantification. Methods In this in vitro study, 21 endovascular stents were investigated in a preclinical MPI scanner. Therefore, the stents were implanted in vessel phantoms. For the signal analysis, the phantoms were scanned without tracer material, and the signal-to-noise-ratio was analyzed. For the evaluation of potential artifacts and the lumen quantification, the phantoms were filled with diluted tracer agent. To calculate the stent lumen diameter a calibrated threshold value was applied. Results We can show that it is possible to visualize the lumen of a variety of endovascular stents without material induced artifacts, as the stents do not generate sufficient signals in MPI. The stent lumen quantification showed a direct correlation between the calculated and nominal diameter (r = 0.98). Conclusion In contrast to MRI and CT, MPI is able to visualize and quantify stent lumina very accurately.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a novel and versatile imaging modality developing toward human application. When up-scaling to human size, the sensitivity of the systems naturally drops as the coil sensitivity depends on the bore diameter. Thus, new methods to push the sensitivity limit further have to be investigated to cope for this loss. In this paper a dedicated surface coil for mice is developed, improving the sensitivity in cerebral imaging applications. Similar to magnetic resonance imaging the developed surface coil improves the sensitivity due to the closer vicinity to the region of interest. With the developed surface coil presented in this work, it is possible to image tracer samples containing only 896 pg[Formula: see text] and detect even small vessels and anatomical structures within a wild type mouse model. As current sensitivity measures require a tracer system a new method for determining a sensitivity measure without this requirement is presented and verified to enable comparison between MPI receiver systems.

Abstract
Superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) have a high potential for use in clinical diagnostic and therapeutic applications. In vivo distribution of SPIONs can be imaged with the Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) method, which uses an inhomogeneous magnetic field with a field free region (FFR). The spatial distribution of the SPIONs are obtained by scanning the FFR inside the field of view (FOV) and sensing SPION related magnetic field disturbance. MPI magnets can be configured to generate a field free point (FFP), or a field free line (FFL) to scan the FOV. FFL scanners provide more sensitivity, and are also more suitable for scanning large regions compared to FFP scanners. Interventional procedures will benefit greatly from FFL based open magnet configurations. Here, we present the first open-sided MPI system that can electronically scan the FOV with an FFL to generate tomographic MPI images. Magnetic field measurements show that FFL can be rotated electronically in the horizontal plane and translated in three dimensions to generate 3D MPI images. Using the developed scanner, we obtained 2D images of dot and cylinder phantoms with varying iron concentrations between 11 [Formula: see text]/ml and 770 [Formula: see text]/ml. We used a measurement based system matrix image reconstruction method that minimizes l1 -norm and total variation in the images. Furthermore, we present 2D imaging results of two 4 mm-diameter vessel phantoms with 0% and 75% stenosis. The experiments show high quality imaging results with a resolution down to 2.5 mm for a relatively low gradient field of 0.6 T/m.

Abstract
The tomographic imaging method magnetic particle imaging (MPI) requires a multi-patch approach for capturing large field of views. This approach consists of a continuous or stepwise spatial shift of a small sub-volume of only few cubic centimeters size, which is scanned using one or multiple excitation fields in the kHz range. Under the assumption of ideal magnetic fields, the MPI system matrix is shift invariant and in turn a single matrix suffices for image reconstruction significantly reducing the calibration time and reconstruction effort. For large field imperfections, however, the method can lead to severe image artifacts. In the present work we generalize the efficient multi-patch reconstruction to work under non-ideal field conditions, where shift invariance holds only approximately for small shifts of the sub-volume. Patches are clustered based on a magnetic-field-based metric such that in each cluster the shift invariance holds in good approximation. The total number of clusters is the main parameter of our method and allows to trade off calibration time and image artifacts. The magnetic-field-based metric allows to perform the clustering without prior knowledge of the system matrices. The developed reconstruction algorithm is evaluated on a multi-patch measurement sequence with 15 patches, where efficient multi-patch reconstruction with a single calibration measurement leads to strong image artifacts. Analysis reveals that calibration measurements can be decreased from 15 to 11 with no visible image artifacts. A further reduction to 9 is possible with only slight degradation in image quality.

Abstract
PURPOSE Using 4D magnetic particle imaging (MPI), intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) catheters are tracked in real time in order to compensate for image artifacts related to relative motion. Our approach demonstrates the feasibility for bimodal IVOCT and MPI in-vitro experiments. MATERIAL AND METHODS During IVOCT imaging of a stenosis phantom the catheter is tracked using MPI. A 4D trajectory of the catheter tip is determined from the MPI data using center of mass sub-voxel strategies. A custom built IVOCT imaging adapter is used to perform different catheter motion profiles: no motion artifacts, motion artifacts due to catheter bending, and heart beat motion artifacts. Two IVOCT volume reconstruction methods are compared qualitatively and quantitatively using the DICE metric and the known stenosis length. RESULTS The MPI-tracked trajectory of the IVOCT catheter is validated in multiple repeated measurements calculating the absolute mean error and standard deviation. Both volume reconstruction methods are compared and analyzed whether they are capable of compensating the motion artifacts. The novel approach of MPI-guided catheter tracking corrects motion artifacts leading to a DICE coefficient with a minimum of 86% in comparison to 58% for a standard reconstruction approach. CONCLUSIONS IVOCT catheter tracking with MPI in real time is an auspicious method for radiation free MPI-guided IVOCT interventions. The combination of MPI and IVOCT can help to reduce motion artifacts due to catheter bending and heart beat for optimized IVOCT volume reconstructions.

Abstract
PURPOSE To illustrate the potential of magnetic particle imaging (MPI) for stent lumen imaging in comparison with clinical computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MATERIALS AND METHODS Imaging of eight tracer-filled, stented vessel phantoms and a tracer-filled, non-stented reference phantom for each diameter was performed on a preclinical MPI scanner: eight commercially available coronary stents of different dimensions (diameter: 3-4 mm; length: 11-38 mm) and materials (stainless steel, platinum-chromium) were implanted into silicone vessel phantoms. For comparison, all vessel phantoms were also visualized by MRI and CT. Two radiologists assessed the images regarding stent-induced artifacts using a 5-point grading scale. RESULTS The visualization of all stented vessel phantoms was achieved without stent-induced artifacts with MPI. In contrast, MRI and CT images revealed multiform stent-induced artifacts. CONCLUSION Given its clinical introduction, MPI has the potential to overcome the disadvantages of MRI and CT concerning the visualization of the stent lumen.

Combining Direct 3D Volume Rendering and Magnetic Particle Imaging to Advance Radiation-Free Real-Time 3D Guidance of Vascular Interventions. Cardiovasc Intervent Radiol 2019; 43:322-330.

Abstract
PURPOSE Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a novel tomographic radiation-free imaging technique that combines high spatial resolution and real-time capabilities, making it a promising tool to guide vascular interventions. Immediate availability of 3D image data is a major advantage over the presently used digital subtraction angiography (DSA), but new methods for real-time image analysis and visualization are also required to take full advantage of the MPI properties. This laboratory study illustrates respective techniques by means of three different patient-specific 3D vascular flow models. MATERIAL AND METHODS The selected models corresponded to typical anatomical intervention sites. Routine patient cases and image data were selected, relevant vascular territories segmented, 3D models generated and then 3D-printed. Printed models were used to perform case-specific MPI imaging. The resulting MPI images, direct volume rendering (DVR)-based fast 3D visualization options, and their suitability to advance vascular interventions were evaluated and compared to conventional DSA. RESULTS The experiments illustrated the feasibility and potential to enhance image interpretation during interventions by using MPI real-time volumetric imaging and problem-tailored DVR-based fast (approximately 30 frames/s) 3D visualization options. These options included automated viewpoint selection and cutaway views. The image enhancement potential is especially relevant for complex geometries (e.g., in the presence of superposed vessels). CONCLUSION The unique features of the as-yet preclinical imaging modality MPI render it promising for guidance of vascular interventions. Advanced fast DVR could help to fulfill this promise by intuitive visualization of the 3D intervention scene in real time.

Abstract
Purpose:To assess the feasibility of magnetic particle imaging (MPI) to guide stenting in a phantom model. Materials and Methods: MPI is a new tomographic imaging method based on the background-free magnetic field detection of a tracer agent composed of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs). All experiments were conducted on a custom-built MPI scanner (field of view: 29-mm diameter, 65-mm length; isotropic spatial resolution 1-1.5-mm). Stenosis phantoms (n=3) consisted of polyvinyl chloride (PVC) tubes (8-mm inner diameter) prepared with centrally aligned cable binders to form a ~50% stenosis. A dedicated image reconstruction algorithm allowed precise tracking of endovascular instruments at 8 frames/s with a latency time of ~115 ms. A custom-made MPI-visible lacquer was used to manually label conventional guidewires, balloon catheters, and stainless steel balloon-expandable stents. Vascular stenoses were visualized by injecting a diluted SPIO tracer (ferucarbotran, 10 mmol iron/L) into the vessel phantoms. Balloon angioplasty and stent placement were performed by inflating balloon catheters and stent delivery balloons with diluted ferucarbotran. Results: After deployment of the stent, the markers on its ends were clearly visible. The applied lacquer markers were thin enough to not relevantly alter gliding properties of the devices while withstanding friction during the experiments. Placing an optimized flexible lacquer formulation on the preexisting radiopaque stent markers provided enough stability to withstand stent expansion. Final MPA confirmed successful stenosis treatment, facilitated by the disappearance of the lacquer markers on the stent due to differences in SPIO concentration. Thus, the in-stent lumen could be visualized without interference by the signal from the markers. Conclusion: Near real-time visualization of MPI-guided stenting of stenoses in a phantom model is feasible. Optimized MPI-visible markers can withstand the expansion process of stents.

Abstract
PURPOSE Intravascular optical coherence tomography (IVOCT) is a catheter-based image modality allowing for high-resolution imaging of vessels. It is based on a fast sequential acquisition of A-scans with an axial spatial resolution in the range of 5-10 μm, that is, one order of magnitude higher than in conventional methods like intravascular ultrasound or computed tomography angiography. However, position and orientation of the catheter in patient coordinates cannot be obtained from the IVOCT measurements alone. Hence, the pose of the catheter needs to be established to correctly reconstruct the three-dimensional vessel shape. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a three-dimensional tomographic, tracer-based, and radiation-free image modality providing high temporal resolution with unlimited penetration depth. Volumetric MPI images are angiographic and hence suitable to complement IVOCT as a comodality. We study simultaneous bimodal IVOCT MPI imaging with the goal of estimating the IVOCT pullback path based on the 3D MPI data. METHODS We present a setup to study and evaluate simultaneous IVOCT and MPI image acquisition of differently shaped vessel phantoms. First, the influence of the MPI tracer concentration on the optical properties required for IVOCT is analyzed. Second, using a concentration allowing for simultaneous imaging, IVOCT and MPI image data are acquired sequentially and simultaneously. Third, the luminal centerline is established from the MPI image volumes and used to estimate the catheter pullback trajectory for IVOCT image reconstruction. The image volumes are compared to the known shape of the phantoms. RESULTS We were able to identify a suitable MPI tracer concentration of 2.5 mmol/L with negligible influence on the IVOCT signal. The pullback trajectory estimated from MPI agrees well with the centerline of the phantoms. Its mean absolute error ranges from 0.27 to 0.28 mm and from 0.25 mm to 0.28 mm for sequential and simultaneous measurements, respectively. Likewise, reconstructing the shape of the vessel phantoms works well with mean absolute errors for the diameter ranging from 0.11 to 0.21 mm and from 0.06 to 0.14 mm for sequential and simultaneous measurements, respectively. CONCLUSIONS Magnetic particle imaging can be used in combination with IVOCT to estimate the catheter trajectory and the vessel shape with high precision and without ionizing radiation.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new medical imaging technique that enables three-dimensional real-time imaging of a magnetic tracer material. Although it is not yet in clinical use, it is highly promising, especially for vascular and interventional imaging. The advantages of MPI are that no ionizing radiation is necessary, its high sensitivity enables the detection of very small amounts of the tracer material, and its high temporal resolution enables real-time imaging, which makes MPI suitable as an interventional imaging technique. As MPI is a tracer-based imaging technique, functional imaging is possible by attaching specific molecules to the tracer material. In the first part of this article, the basic principle of MPI will be explained and a short overview of the principles of the generation and spatial encoding of the tracer signal will be given. After this, the used tracer materials as well as their behavior in MPI will be introduced. A subsequent presentation of selected scanner topologies will show the current state of research and the limitations researchers are facing on the way from preclinical toward human-sized scanners. Furthermore, it will be briefly shown how to reconstruct an image from the tracer materials' signal. In the last part, a variety of possible future clinical applications will be presented with an emphasis on vascular imaging, such as the use of MPI during cardiovascular interventions by visualizing the instruments. Investigations will be discussed, which show the feasibility to quantify the degree of stenosis and diagnose strokes and traumatic brain injuries as well as cerebral or gastrointestinal bleeding with MPI. As MPI is not only suitable for vascular medicine but also offers a broad range of other possible applications, a selection of those will be briefly presented at the end of the article.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a novel imaging modality with important potential applications, such as angiography, stem cell tracking, and cancer imaging. Recently, there have been efforts to increase the functionality of MPI via multi-color imaging methods that can distinguish the responses of different nanoparticles, or nanoparticles in different environmental conditions. The proposed techniques typically rely on extensive calibrations that capture the differences in the harmonic responses of the nanoparticles. In this paper, we propose a method to directly estimate the relaxation time constant of the nanoparticles from the MPI signal, which is then used to generate a multi-color relaxation map. The technique is based on the underlying mirror symmetry of the adiabatic MPI signal when the same region is scanned back and forth. We validate the proposed method via simulations, and via experiments on our in-house magnetic particle spectrometer setup at 10.8 kHz and our in-house MPI scanner at 9.7 kHz. Our results show that nanoparticles can be successfully distinguished with the proposed technique, without any calibration or prior knowledge about the nanoparticles.

Abstract
The temporal resolution of the tomographic imaging method magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is remarkably high. The spatial resolution is degraded for measured voltage signal with low signal-to-noise ratio, because the regularization in the image reconstruction step needs to be increased for system-matrix approaches and for deconvolution steps in x -space approaches. To improve the signal-to-noise ratio, blockwise averaging of the signal over time can be advantageous. However, since block-wise averaging decreases the temporal resolution, it prevents resolving the motion. In this paper, a framework for averaging motion-corrupted MPI raw data is proposed. The motion is considered to be periodic as it is the case for respiration and/or the heartbeat. The same state of motion is thus reached repeatedly in a time series exceeding the repetition time of the motion and can be used for averaging. As the motion process and the acquisition process are, in general, not synchronized, averaging of the captured MPI raw data corresponding to the same state of motion requires to shift the starting point of the individual frames. For high-frequency motion, a higher frame rate is potentially required. To address this issue, a binning method for using only parts of complete frames from a motion cycle is proposed that further reduces the motion artifacts in the final images. The frequency of motion is derived directly from the MPI raw data signal without the need to capture an additional navigator signal. Using a motion phantom, it is shown that the proposed method is capable of averaging experimental data with reduced motion artifacts. The methods are further validated on in-vivo data from mouse experiments to compensate the heartbeat.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an emerging tomographic method that enables sensitive and fast imaging. It does not require ionizing radiation and thus may be a safe alternative for tracking of devices in the catheterization laboratory. The 3-D real-time imaging capabilities of MPI have been demonstrated in vivo and recent improvements in fast online image reconstruction enable almost real-time data reconstruction and visualization. Moreover, based on the use of different magnetic particle types for catheter visualization and blood pool imaging, multi-color MPI enables reconstruction of separate images for the catheter and the vessels from simultaneously measured data. While these are important assets for interventional imaging, MPI field generators can furthermore apply strong forces on a magnetic catheter tip. It is the aim of this paper to give a first demonstration of the combination of real-time multi-color MPI with online reconstruction and interactive field control for the application of forces on a magnetic catheter model in a phantom experiment.

Abstract
Tomographic imaging has become a mandatory tool for the diagnosis of a majority of diseases in clinical routine. Since each method has its pros and cons, a variety of them is regularly used in clinics to satisfy all application needs. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a relatively new tomographic imaging technique that images magnetic nanoparticles with a high spatiotemporal resolution in a quantitative way, and in turn is highly suited for vascular and targeted imaging. MPI was introduced in 2005 and now enters the preclinical research phase, where medical researchers get access to this new technology and exploit its potential under physiological conditions. Within this paper, we review the development of MPI since its introduction in 2005. Besides an in-depth description of the basic principles, we provide detailed discussions on imaging sequences, reconstruction algorithms, scanner instrumentation and potential medical applications.

Abstract
This paper aims to update the clinical researches using superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) nanoparticles as magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) contrast agent published during the past five years. PubMed database was used for literature search, and the search terms were (SPIO OR superparamagnetic iron oxide OR Resovist OR Ferumoxytol OR Ferumoxtran-10) AND (MRI OR magnetic resonance imaging). The literature search results show clinical research on SPIO remains robust, particularly fuelled by the approval of ferumoxytol for intravenously administration. SPIOs have been tested on MR angiography, sentinel lymph node detection, lymph node metastasis evaluation; inflammation evaluation; blood volume measurement; as well as liver imaging. Two experimental SPIOs with unique potentials are also discussed in this review. A curcumin-conjugated SPIO can penetrate brain blood barrier (BBB) and bind to amyloid plaques in Alzheime's disease transgenic mice brain, and thereafter detectable by MRI. Another SPIO was fabricated with a core of Fe3O4 nanoparticle and a shell coating of concentrated hydrophilic polymer brushes and are almost not taken by peripheral macrophages as well as by mononuclear phagocytes and reticuloendothelial system (RES) due to the suppression of non-specific protein binding caused by their stealthy ''brush-afforded'' structure. This SPIO may offer potentials for the applications such as drug targeting and tissue or organ imaging other than liver and lymph nodes.

Abstract
Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) uses magnetic fields to visualize the spatial distribution of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs). Guidance of cardiovascular interventions is seen as one possible application of MPI. To safely guide interventions, the vessel lumen as well as all required interventional devices have to be visualized and be discernible from each other. Until now, different tracer concentrations were used for discerning devices from blood in MPI, because only one type of SPIO could be imaged at a time. Recently, it was shown for 3D MPI that it is possible to separate different signal sources in one volume of interest, i.e. to visualize and discern different SPIOs or different binding states of the same SPIO. The approach was termed multi-color MPI. In this work, the use of multi-color MPI for differentiation of a SPIO coated guide wire (Terumo Radifocus 0.035″) from the lumen of a vessel phantom filled with diluted Resovist is demonstrated. This is achieved by recording dedicated system functions of the coating material containing solid Resovist and of liquid Resovist, which allows separation of their respective signal in the image reconstruction process. Assigning a color to the different signal sources results in a differentiation of guide wire and vessel phantom lumen into colored images.
