  • Magnetic particle actuation
    Patent number: 11890488
    Abstract: Magnetic particle actuating systems may include a magnet system configured to generate a magnetic field that includes a field-free region. A corresponding control system can be configured to control the magnet system to create a field-free region at least partially matching a target region. An excitation system can be configured to generate an excitation field to cause actuation of magnetic nanoparticles in an actuation region.
    Type: Grant

  • Magnetic particle imaging
    Patent number: 11204398
    Abstract: A Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) system with a magnet configured to generate a magnetic field with a field free line, the magnet integrated with a flux return designed so that a flux path at approximately the center of the field-free line has a first reluctance and a second flux path distal from the center of the field-free line has a second reluctance, and the second reluctance is lower than the first reluctance to facilitate a high fidelity magnetic field and high fidelity field free line.
