Abstract

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a novel technique developed for remotely detecting magnetic nanoparticle (MNP) tracers, with great potential for biomedical imaging (as an alternative to traditional methods like MRI or CT), cell tracking, targeted drug delivery and magnetic hyperthermia. More recently, MPI has been studied as a potential method of non-contact temperature measurement. This work presents a simulation study of the multi-color MPI method tailored for 3D temperature imaging, discusses the feasibility of the method for 3D temperature measurements, and shows a parallel implementation of the multi-color T-MPI reconstruction algorithm in graphics processing unit (GPU). While the use of the parallel algorithm resulted in executions about 40x faster when compared to the serial implementation, the method exhibited serious limitations in accurately resolving particle temperatures between the calibration temperatures by interpolation.
