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 hardware has reached human scale and thus patient safety questions and clinical application scenarios are in the focus of current research. In this work, we present a safe real-time 3D MPI system for cerebral applications. High voltages are avoided to ensure patient safety by a low voltage-high current transmit coil design. The developed 2D drive-field generator generates a field-free-point trajectory in the sagittal xz-plane that is shifted by a dynamic selection-field sequence along the y-axis. The scanner generates 3D images with 4 frames/second and allows for direct visualization of the clinically preferred transversal yz-plane, which is crucial for future brain examinations. Advanced reconstruction techniques reach a system sensitivity of 4 μgFe with respect to the iron mass in a sensitivity study.
