| contents | Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is an in-vivo imaging method to detect magnetic nanoparticles for blood vessel imaging and molecular target imaging. Compared with conventional molecular imaging devices (such as nuclear medicine imaging PET and SPECT), magnetic nanoparticles have longer storage periods than radionuclides without ionizing radiation. MPI has higher detection sensitivity compared with MRI. To accurately locate molecular probes in living organisms, high-resolution images are needed to meet the requirements of precision medicine. The spatial resolution of the latest domestic and international MPI equipment is 1-6 mm and has not yet met the requirements of medical imaging detection. We previously studied the spatial encoding technology based on pulsed square wave stimulation, which significantly improved the image resolution along the field free line (FFL) direction. This study proposes an innovative idea of high-resolution MPI based on stimulated emission depletion (STED) of magnetic nanoparticle signals. The stimulated emission was implemented by using cosine stimulation on FFL-based MPI scanner systems. The STED signal was generated by adding an offset magnetic field parallel to the FFL, which may form a donut-shaped focal spot or a regular Gaussian focal spot depending on the offset field strength. Focal spot modulation techniques and deconvolution algorithms were developed to improve image resolution. |
