MPI (Bruker
Biospin, Ettlingen, Germany) enables direct detection of paramagnetic
nanoparticles in an oscillating magnetic field. Magnetic particle detection is
a quantitative (no attenuation of the signal) tomographic 3D functional imaging
technique with a high scan rate (up to 46 images/s). In combination with MRI or
CT, this enables high resolution sensitive monitoring of superparamagnetic
nanoparticles (SPIO, super paramagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles) that can
visualize the bloodstream and to track cells or macromolecules, monitor their
movements and distribution in an organism. MPI is 1.000 times faster than PET
and 100 times more sensitive than MRI
