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: Magnetic Particle Imaging (MPI) is a highly sensitive imaging modality, which allows the visualization of magnetic tracer materials with a temporal resolution of more than 40 volumes per second. In MPI the size of the field of view scales with the strength of the applied magnetic fields. In clinical applications this strength is limited by peripheral nerve stimulation and specific absorption rates. Therefore, the size of the field of view is usually no larger than a few cubic centimeters. To bypass this limitation additional focus fields and/or a external object movements can be applied. In this work we investigate the later approach, where an object is moved through the scanner bore one step at a time, while the MPI scanner continuously acquires data from its static field of view. Using 3D phantom and 3D+t in-vivo data it is shown that the data can be jointly reconstructed after reordering the data with respect to the stepwise object shifts and heart beat phases.
