Abstract: A method and an arrangement for influencing and/or detecting magnetic particles in a region of action is disclosed, which method comprises the steps of: —generating a magnetic selection field having a pattern in space of its magnetic field strength such that a first sub-zone having a low magnetic field strength and a second sub-zone having a higher magnetic field strength are formed in the region of action—changing the position in space of the two sub-zones in the region of action by means of a magnetic drive field so that the magnetization of the magnetic particles change locally, —acquiring signals, which signals depend on the magnetization in the region of action, which magnetization is influenced by the change in the position in space of the first and second sub-zone, wherein a magnetic drive vector of the magnetic drive field is rotated in at least one rotation plane.

Abstract: An arrangement for influencing and/or detecting magnetic particles, a method for adjusting such an arrangement and a method for influencing and/or detecting magnetic particles in a region of action is disclosed, which arrangement comprises selection means for generating a magnetic selection field having a pattern in space of its magnetic field strength such that a first sub-zone having a low magnetic field strength and a second sub-zone having a higher magnetic field strength are formed in the region of action, drive means for changing the position in space of the two sub-zones in the region of action by means of a magnetic drive field so that the magnetization of the magnetic particles changes locally, receiving means for acquiring signals, which signals depend on the magnetization in the region of action, which magnetization is influenced by the change in the position in space of the first and second sub-zone, wherein the receiving means comprises a first compensation means and a second compensation means t
