N2 - Biomedical applications such as cell tracking and angiography require the detection of low concentrations of superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (SPIOs) for imaging purposes. Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) is a new technology which enables the quantitative and time-resolved localization of SPIO distributions. However, the minimum concentration at which the SPIOs can be reconstructed with a suitable quality still remains to be investigated. In this work we examine the background signals in raw data that were measured without any SPIOs in the scanner tube.
