Magnetic Particle Imaging meets Computed Tomography: first simultaneous imaging.

Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a promising new tomographic modality for fast as well as three-dimensional visualization of magnetic material. For anatomical or structural information an additional imaging modality such as computed tomography (CT) is required. In this paper, the first hybrid MPI-CT scanner for multimodal imaging providing simultaneous data acquisition is presented.

A translation-based data acquisition method for computed tomography: theoretical analysis and simulation study.

Purpose: In this paper, the authors propose a new method for computed tomography (CT) data acquisition, which requires almost no rotational movement of the system or the object, respectively.

Methods: The new method is taking advantage of the fact that variations of magnification, e.g.
