Simulations and Experiments of Magnetic and Mechanical Effects in Magneto-Motive Ultrasound Imaging
superparamagnetic nanoparticles have been used for different applications, especially for MRI as a contrast agent. Recently, a new technique called Magneto-motive ultrasound (MMUS) imaging was introduced making these particles also work for as a contrast agent for ultrasound. This method uses a time varying magnetic field as an excitation source to provoke motion of magnetic nanoparticles laden in
