Multi-dimensional harmonic dispersion X-space MPI

Abstract

In magnetic particle imaging (MPI), standard x-space reconstruction requires partial field-of-view (pFOV) processing steps: speed compensation of the received signal and gridding the non-equidistant field free point (FFP) positions to a Cartesian grid. Moreover, due to direct feedthrough filtering, a DC recovery algorithm must be utilized, which requires pFOVs to overlap with each other. In this work, we propose an alternative x-space reconstruction technique that does not require pFOV processing or overlapping pFOVs. The proposed technique is applicable to rapid and sparse multi-dimensional scanning trajectories where standard x-space reconstruction cannot be applied due to non-overlapping pFOVs.
