     We achieved a harmonic-rich signal from linear magnetization responses of magnetic nanoparticles under 40 μT/μ0 excitation field to facilitate
     magnetic particle imaging (MPI). In contrast, large harmonic responses are typically attributed to the nonlinear field-dependent magnetization
     characteristics of the particles, thus questioning technical and clinical issues toward a human-sized MPI scanner. By using a magnetoresistive
     sensor, we propose a strategy to exploit the linear responses of the tracers at low field regime where the standard MPI may struggle with spatial
     signal decoding. The achieved high-contrast images of a solid ferucarbotran phantom bring new expectation toward clinical use of MPI.
