Magnetization response spectroscopy of superparamagnetic nanoparticles for magnetic particle imaging

Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a tomographic imaging modality sensitive to the spatial distribution of magnetic particles. The spectrometer, described in this paper, is capable of measuring the remagnetization spectrum of superparamagnetic nanoparticles. With this spectrometer the suitability of particles, for MPI, can be characterized. Furthermore, the spectrometer can be used to estimate the particle size distribution, which allows for more accurate simulations in MPI.
