Such a model to describe magneto-viscous relaxation effects is important because it allows an optimized selection of magnetic excitation strengths, excitation waveform, and nanoparticle properties. Furthermore, a better understanding of magneto-viscous relaxation may allow the option of deconvolving its effect from the final image to achieve to improve spatial resolution.","PeriodicalId":267566,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Workshop on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IWMPI)","volume":"18 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-06-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117184756","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, compared to the theoretical physical sensitivity limit of a MPI scanner with 1 mm3 resolution using image 17 nm iron oxide nanoparticles, which lies between 100 nM and 1 μM1, the detection sensitivity for current MPI systems is worse by over 4 orders of magnitude. Factors contributing to this lack of sensitivity include non-optimal noise matching and feedthrough interference, of which the latter is a more dominant effect due to spectral overlap between the interfering signals and particle signals. Gleich et al., Schmale et al. and the authors of this study have previously attempted to decrease the interference through high-power filters and reducing capacitor distortion. In this work, we attempt to actively cancel interfering magnetic fields through the use of a feedforward transformer coupling circuit.","PeriodicalId":267566,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Workshop on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IWMPI)","volume":"15 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124471800","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The mean survival time for animals receiving a single treatment of Drug-NC followed by RF exposure was 25.1 days, compared to 15.2 days for untreated and control groups. A two-cycle treatment prolonged survival to an average of 46 days. Significant cell death was observed in the Drug-NC+RF group in histological sections of the tumors, while nearly no cell death was observed in any of the control groups. The iron oxide nanoparticles used in the chain are an effective tool for converting magnetic energy into mechanical energy. The current application makes use of restricted Brownian motion of the nanoparticles in the nanochain. The movement of the iron oxide chain is restricted due to bonding, preventing true rotation to align with the field.2 We believe the result is a mechanical “vibration” that causes imperfections in the liposome though which the drug is able to escape. To investigate this hypothesis, drug release was measured from several concentrations of Drug-NC exposed to the same magnetic field, and all samples exhibited the same release rate, suggesting that a high concentration of iron oxide nanoparticles is not necessary for drug release. Further, no global heating was observed, and the possibility of local heating was excluded through linking a fluorophore (Alexa 488) to the iron oxide chain of the Drug-NC particle.3 Multiple Drug-NC suspensions were exposed to direct heating (ΔT=0-9°C), causing a measureable decrease in fluorescence intensity. However, when the suspensions were only exposed to RF, no change in fluorescence intensity was observed.","PeriodicalId":267566,"journal":{"name":"2013 International Workshop on Magnetic Particle Imaging (IWMPI)","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-23","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124475381","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
