Philips Research has developed a new medical imaging technology called Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI). The technology, which uses the magnetic properties of iron-oxide nanoparticles injected into the bloodstream, has been used in a pre-clinical study to generate real-time 3D images of arterial blood flow and volumetric heart motion.

Overlay of MPI images on anatomical MR images of the cardiovascular system taken in a preclinical study. The combined images are the three orthogonal cross sections showing the blood flow in the left heart chamber and the lung arteries. This picture has been published in the March issue of Physics in Medicine and Biology in 2009 (Volume 54, issue 5).
