Abstract
A method of magnetic imaging at long detection ranges. In one embodiment the method comprises introducing a magnetic sample having magnetic particles into a detection field; detecting weak magnetic field signals of the magnetic particles; forming an image from the detected signals; and determining the location and quantity amount of the magnetic particles. The method further comprises introducing a magnetic sample to a human or other organism's body.
Claims16
A method for scanning magnetic imaging which, comprising:
- introducing a magnetic sample having magnetic particles into a detection field;
- detecting weak magnetic field signals of the magnetic particles by moving the distance of the detector relative to the magnetic sample;
- forming an image from the detected signals corresponding to the distance of the detector;
- and
- determining the location and quantity amount of the magnetic particles.
