Curriculum Vitae

Tobias Knopp received his Diplom degree in computer science in 2007 and his PhD in 2010, both from the University of Lübeck with highest distinction. For his PHD on the tomographic imaging method Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) he was awarded with the Klee award from the DGBMT (VDE) in 2011. From 2010 until 2011 he led the MAPIT project at the University of Lübeck and published the first scientific book on MPI. In 2011 he joined Bruker Biospin to work on the first commercially available MPI system. From 2012 until 2014 he worked at Thorlabs in the field of Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) as a software developer. In 2014 he has been appointed as Professor for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology.

Abstract: In Magnetic Particle Imaging the determination of the system matrix is a time-consuming process. As the transfer function differs depending on the electronics of the receive chain, a system matrix recorded with one chain cannot be used for reconstruction of measurement data using a different receive chain. This leads to huge amounts of data as system matrices have to be recorded for every set of drive field strength, particle system and receiver chain setting. In this paper the complexity of this is reduced by the factor of the receiver electronics. For each receive path of our MPI system the transfer function is recorded and stored on the measurement device. When loading the data, the transfer-function is corrected which allows the exchange of the system matrices data between receiver chains. To demonstrate this system matrix data is compared and a successful reconstruction of an in vivo dataset is shown.
