    Abstract: Magnetic material imaging (MMI) system including first and second sets of field-generating coils. Each of the field-generating coils of the first and second sets has an elongated segment that extends along an imaging axis of the medical imaging system. The imaging axis extends through a region-of-interest (ROI) of an object. The elongated segments of the first set of field-generating coils are positioned opposite the elongated segments of the second set of field-generating coils and the ROI is located between the first and second sets of field-generating coils. The MMI system also includes a coil-control module configured to control a flow of current through the first and second sets of field-generating coils to generate a selection field and to generate a drive field. The selection and drive fields combine to form a movable 1D field free region (FFR) that extends through the ROI.

    Abstract translation: 磁材料成像(MMI)系统包括第一组和第二组励磁线圈。 第一组和第二组的每个场产生线圈具有沿着医学成像系统的成像轴线延伸的细长部分。 成像轴延伸穿过物体的感兴趣区域(ROI)。 第一组场产生线圈的细长段与第二组场产生线圈的细长段相对设置,并且ROI位于第一组和第二组场产生线圈之间。 MMI系统还包括线圈控制模块,该线圈控制模块被配置为控制通过第一和第二组场产生线圈的电流流动以产生选择场并产生驱动场。 选择和驱动领域相结合,形成一个延伸穿过ROI的可移动1D无域区域(FFR)。
