Research Interests

My research on tomographic imaging is primarily focused on magnetic particle imaging. In this context, I am engaged in the study of a number of problems, including:

  • Image reconstruction
    • Multi-contrast imaging
    • Multi-patch imaging
    • Artifact reduction
  • Magnetic field generation and characterisation
  • Receive path calibration

Curriculum Vitae

Martin Möddel is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Tobias Knopp for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology. He received his PhD in physics from the Universität Siegen in 2014 on the topic of characterizing quantum correlations: the genuine multiparticle negativity as entanglement monotone. Prior to his PhD, he studied physics at the Universität Leipzig between 2005 and 2011, where he received his Diplom On the costratified Hilbert space structure of a lattice gauge model with semi-simple gauge group.

Abstract: Determining the brain perfusion is an important task for diagnosis of vascular diseases such as occlusions and intracerebral haemorrhage. Even after successful diagnosis, there is a high risk of restenosis or rebleeding such that patients need intense attention in the days after treatment. Within this work, we present a diagnostic tomographic imager that allows access to brain perfusion quantitatively in short intervals. The device is based on the magnetic particle imaging technology and is designed for human scale. It is highly sensitive and allows the detection of an iron concentration of 263 pmol(Fe)/ml, which is one of the lowest iron concentrations imaged by MPI so far. The imager is self-shielded and can be used in unshielded environments such as intensive care units. In combination with the low technical requirements this opens up a variety of medical applications and would allow monitoring of stroke on intensive care units.
