A Radial Lissajous Trajectory for Magnetic Particle Imaging

Patryk Szwargulski, C. Kaethner, M. Ahlborg, T. M. Buzug

Abstract

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is based on the detection of super paramagnetic material by sampling a volume with a field free point (FFP) [1]. In order to cover the field of view (FOV) with a Lissajous trajectory [2], current scanners use drive fields to realize the FFP movement. In this contribution, an alternative trajectory, called a radial Lissajous trajectory, is proposed. This trajectory features a circular shape that is based on the same frequency ratio as the Lissajous trajectory, and can therefore be implemented on current scanners. As an initial study, a comparison between the proposed radial Lissajous trajectory and the conventional Lissajous trajectory is given with a focus on FOV patches.
