Abstract
In this chapter, alternative coil topologies are presented that differ significantly from the original MPI setup discussed in Chap. 3. One of these has been developed to allow for an open patient access by using an asymmetric coil topology, where all field-generating coils are arranged on a single side of the patient. Another alternative coil topology has been developed to increase the sensitivity of MPI by using a completely different spatial encoding scheme utilizing a field-free line (FFL) instead of the conventionally applied FFP. Finally, it is sketched how an MPI scanner can be used to perform MRI experiments, which allows to gain morphological information.
