Talk Title: Magnetic Particle Imaging: A New Angiograph
Abstract: Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a new imaging modality that makes use of USPIO (Ultra Small Superparamagnetic Iron Oxide) tracers and has the benefit of incredible Signal to Noise and near-perfect contrast. Moreover, the contrast agent is much safer than our current contrast agents (gadolinium and iodine) for patients with poor kidney function (called Chronic Kidney
Disease or CKD). About 40\% of Americans over the age of 60 now have CKD, and this condition makes any subsequent angiogram a very risky prospect. Indeed, CKD patients have almost 30% risk of losing all kidney function---and becoming permanently reliant on dialysis following an iodine injection.
Magnetic Particle Imaging draws from much of the system theory of MRI, but acquisition is in x-space rather than in k-space. The magnetization we image is only the contrast agent,
SPIOs, and human tissue is both transparent and emits zero signal.This is ideal for angiogram studies. Moreover, the magnetization inthe particles is 100 million times stronger than the nuclear paramagnetismwe image in a typical 55 Molar MRI study. There is almost 1 million gain in SNR/mole for MPI over MRI, meaning one day we can hope to image 55 micromolar SPIOs with extraordinary contrast to noise.
My research group at UC Berkeley has built all 7 of the MPI scannersin North America. I will present physics, systems theory (called x-space MPI), image reconstruction, hardware and some initial phantom and mouse
experiments.

CED & VARC Study Night
Tue, Oct 09, 2012 @ 06:00 PM - 09:00 PM
Viterbi School of Engineering Student Affairs
Workshops & Infosessions
All Viterbi undergrads are invited to this informal study night in the CED lounge. Tutors from the Viterbi Academic Resource Center and the Center for Engineering Diversity will be on hand to answer your questions and help you work through problems. Tutors can answer questions for most lower-division math and science classes. Bring your textbooks, assignments, and your engineering friends - plus we'll have pizza!
