Abstract: Disclosed herein are a magnetic-field-generating coil system, an imaging system having the magnetic-field-generating coil system, and a method for operating the imaging system. The method for operating an imaging system includes generating multiple Linear Gradient Fields (LGFs) in respective axial directions by controlling coil currents, and acquiring MRI information or Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) information about an object while moving the multiple LGFs by varying the coil currents.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method and apparatus for measuring flow using an electromagnetic resonance phenomenon. The flowmeter includes an RF resonator in the form of a cylinder into which a transmission antenna for forming a magnetic field in a preset frequency range and a reception antenna for measuring a response signal are inserted, the RF resonator being shielded from an external magnetic field; and a processor for measuring the flow in a pipe that passes through the RF resonator based on the response signal. The RF resonator includes circular holes in the two bases of the cylinder so as to enable the pipe to pass through the RF resonator, and is formed with a first body and a second body, which are split in the height direction of the cylinder and are coupled using a coupling member so as to wrap the outer circumferential surface of the pipe.

Abstract: Disclosed herein are a method for modifying a magnetic field using magnetic nanoparticles and an apparatus therefor. The method for modifying a magnetic field includes applying current to a single solenoid coil or to two parallel solenoid coils, measuring a strength of a magnetic field generated by the current at a preset target location using a measurement sensor, and controlling the strength of the magnetic field based on a concentration of a magnetic nanoparticle sample mounted in the single solenoid coil or the two solenoid coils so that the strength of the magnetic field matches a preset target value.
