Normalization of Magnetic Field Effects: Towards Quantitative Magnetomotive Ultrasound Imaging
In magnetomotive ultrasound (MMUS) imaging superparamagnetic iron oxide nanoparticles (NP) are used as contrast agents and a time-varying external magnetic field acts to move the particles and thereby the nanoparticle-laden tissue. Recently we proposed a frequency and phase sensitive algorithm to reduce motion artifacts. However, the method is not quantitative as the particle movement induced is d
