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 is a very useful tool in the detection of stroke. To study the ability of stroke in a mouse model the data acquisition is challenging as a mouse brain contains only a very small ratio of blood compared to large animals or humans. The effective concentration within the whole organ is therefore very small, especially compared to the heart or the liver. Typical MPI receiver coils however cover a sensitive region of around 30 mm to 50 mm and have a bore size of above 40 mm. This leads on the one hand to non-optimal signal coupling due to the distance to the particles and on the other hand strong signals from the heart can cause artifacts in the low signal regions. In this work we present a coil optimized for mouse brain imaging, which due to its small size, also dampens signal from regions outside of the coil.
