Magnetic particle imaging for artifact-free imaging of intracranial flow diverter stents: A phantom study

Purpose Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new, background- and radiation-free tomographic imaging method that enables near real-time imaging of superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles (SPIONs) with high temporal and spatial resolution. This phantom study aims to investigate the potential of MPI for visualization of the stent lumen in intracranial flow diverters (FD). Methods Nitinol FD of different dimensions (outer diameter: 3.5 mm, 4.0...
