MPS-mouse: Mobile hand-held Magnetic Particle Spectroscopy

• Applicant: Dr. Patrick Vogel
• Subject Area: Medical Physics, Biomedical Technology
• Term: from 2018 to 2021
• Project identifier: Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - Project number 412842756

Magnetic Particle Spectroscopy (MPS) is one important tool for the characterization of tracer material such as superparamagnetic iron-oxide nanoparticles used in the novel imaging technologie called Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). However, a further devlopment, especially in the particle regime, often hampers because of a limited access to MPS devices.This project aims the feasibility for developing a mobile hand-held device with the focus on usability and stability.
