Tracers

As MPI is a tracer based imaging modality, it is important to relate all measurements to the tracer being used. Currently most datasets are measured with perimag and one system matrix is measured with synomag-D.

Perimag

Perimag is a dextran coated tracer from the company Micromod. Perimag offers a very good MPI signal comparable to Resovist and can be directly ordered, which is essential for reproducible research.

Synomag-D

Synomag-D is a dextran coated tracer from the company Micromod as well. It provides up to a factor of 2 better signal than perimag.
