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 multi-patch magnetic particle imaging an artifact-free image can be obtained by using a joint reconstruction and measuring the system matrices not only in the field-of-view but also in a huge overscan. This leads to a long calibration time and heavy memory consumption and therefore an unsuitability of this method for large three-dimensional measurements. In this work we propose to measure the system matrices only in the field-of-view and use a diffusion based extrapolation step to extant the system matrices computationally into the overscan. In this way we massively reduce the calibration time while maintaining a nearly artifact-free image.
