Magnetic particle imaging (MPI) reconstructs the spatial distribution of magnetic nanoparticles on a fixed grid, the resolution of which is limited by the noise present in the system. This paper addresses the reconstruction problem while integrating single-image super-resolution for concentration maps. We introduce Neural Implicit Representations (NIR) as an image prior, enabling arbitrary grid size sampling after training. Experimental results using a spiral phantom measurement reveal that NIR-based reconstruction maintains image sharpness across diverse grid sizes, surpassing the two-stage Kaczmarz-ℓ2 reconstruction followed by bicubic up-sampling in preserving fine structural details. This technique has a potential for high-resolution MPI imaging without relying on extensive datasets.
