Concept of a Generator for the Selection and Focus Field of a Clinical MPI Scanner

We present a concept for a combined selection and focus field generator for whole-body magnetic particle imaging (MPI). Predictions for field of view, gradient field strength, slew rate, and power consumption are calculated and discussed with the help of finite-element simulations.
