Abstract
A portable and compact electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) imaging magnet was developed for building a 750 MHz EPR imaging system. To realize low-cost fabrication, it was shown that the magnetic homogeneity required for redox EPR imaging using nitroxyl probes can be approximately reproduced by regularly arranging small neodymium magnets that are easy to handle. A five-channel coil driver consisting of operational amplifiers and switching power supplies was developed for field sweep, field modulation, and three field gradients to downsize the imaging system. The EPR imaging of 4-oxo-2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-d16-1-oxyl (tempone-d16) using a phantom was successfully performed by employing a 3D radial sequence controlled by a digital EPR console.
