    摘要: A tracer composition includes a carrier fluid and a tracer particle that includes at least one magnetic material and an acoustic signal generating material. A method includes introducing a tracer composition into a reservoir at a first location. The method further includes collecting fluid from the reservoir at a second location, where the first location is different from the second location. The method also includes applying a magnet field to the fluid collected from the reservoir such that the magnetic material produces vibrational energy. Due to the vibrational energy generated in the magnetic material, thermal energy is transferred to the acoustic signal generating material thereby heating the acoustic signal generating material to a boiling point such that the acoustic signal is generated. The method further includes detecting the acoustic signal and correlating the acoustic signal to a tracer particle concentration.

    摘要: A magnetic particle imaging system includes a field free region generator and an excited magnetic field generator. The field free region generator generates a field free line with a direction of linear extension of a field free region as a direction of extension. The excited magnetic field generator generates an excited magnetic field in the field free line generated by the field free region generator. The excited magnetic field generator includes a first excited magnetic field generation unit and a second excited magnetic field generation unit. The first excited magnetic field generation unit and the second excited magnetic field generation unit are spaced from each other in the direction of extension of the field free line.

    摘要: A pulsed magnetic particle imaging system includes a magnetic field generating system that includes at least one magnet, the magnetic field generating system providing a spatially structured magnetic field within an observation region of the magnetic particle imaging system such that the spatially structured magnetic field will have a field-free region (FFR) for an object under observation having a magnetic nanoparticle tracer distribution therein. The pulsed magnetic particle imaging system also includes a pulsed excitation system arranged proximate the observation region, the pulsed excitation system includes an electromagnet and a pulse sequence generator electrically connected to the electromagnet to provide an excitation waveform to the electromagnet, wherein the electromagnet when provided with the excitation waveform generates an excitation magnetic field within the observation region to induce an excitation signal therefrom by at least one of shifting a location or condition of the FFR. The pulsed magnetic particle imaging system further includes a detection system arranged proximate the observation region, the detection system being configured to detect the excitation signal to provide a detection signal. The excitation waveform includes a transient portion and a substantially constant portion.

    摘要: A magnetic sensor includes a substrate having a first surface and a second surface, which is opposite the first surface, and a detection unit provided on the first surface. The detection unit includes a magnetoresistive effect element, the resistance value of which changes in accordance with an input magnetic field, provided on the first surface, and a protective layer that covers at least the magnetoresistive effect element. The magnetoresistive effect element is configured in a linear shape extending in a first direction on the first surface. The detection unit has a first width, which is a length in a second direction, orthogonal to the first direction, and a second length, which is greater than the first width. The first width is the length of the detection unit on the first surface, and the second width is the length of the top surface of the detection unit.

    摘要: A multi-color quantitative magnetic nanoparticle imaging method and system based on trapezoidal wave excitation solves the problem that the existing technology cannot implement multi-color quantitative magnetic particle imaging. The method includes: constructing, based on hysteresis effect and hysteresis inertial growth differences of n superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) under trapezoidal wave excitation, an equation set of quality of n SPIOs in a to-be-tested sample formed by any composition of n SPIO standard products; solving the equation set to obtain the quality distribution of the to-be-tested sample at position r; and performing rearrangement, color assignment, and image merging on the quality distribution to implement multi-color quantitative imaging of various particles in magnetic particle imaging (MPI). The method broadens the functions of MPI to realize multi-color quantitative imaging, such that MPI has greater potential for application in the medical field.
