MNP Enhanced Microwave Imaging by Means of Pseudo-Noise Sensing with Different External Magnetic Field Modulations
Abstract:
This contribution deals with the detection and imaging of magnetic modulated nanoparticles by means of ultra-wideband sensing. We performed phantom measurements in a practical measurement setup where the magnetic nanoparticles are modulated by a static and a low periodic changing external magnetic field. We investigated the influence of the modulation type of the polarizing magnetic field on both, detectability and imaging of magnetic nanoparticles. We can conclude that both modulations generate a sufficient contrast in order that the nanoparticles were detected at the correct position in a three-dimensional volume. The imaging results, including 32 channels, indicate that the two state (ON/OFF) modulation of the magnetic field under constant environmental conditions shows better results compared to a sinusoidal excitation of the magnetic field.
