Research Interests

My research on tomographic imaging is primarily focused on magnetic particle imaging. In this context, I am engaged in the study of a number of problems, including:

  • Image reconstruction
    • Multi-contrast imaging
    • Multi-patch imaging
    • Artifact reduction
  • Magnetic field generation and characterisation
  • Receive path calibration

Curriculum Vitae

Martin Möddel is a postdoctoral researcher in the group of Tobias Knopp for experimental Biomedical Imaging at the University Medical Center Hamburg-Eppendorf and the Hamburg University of Technology. He received his PhD in physics from the Universität Siegen in 2014 on the topic of characterizing quantum correlations: the genuine multiparticle negativity as entanglement monotone. Prior to his PhD, he studied physics at the Universität Leipzig between 2005 and 2011, where he received his Diplom On the costratified Hilbert space structure of a lattice gauge model with semi-simple gauge group.

Abstract: The signal chain of a Magnetic Particle Imaging system can be designed to include a dedicated receive-only coil or to combine transmit and receive coils. More common are circuits with separate transmit and receive chains, using dedicated receive coil(s) that cancel the excitation feedthrough. However, combined transmit-receive systems may prove to have several benefits, such as reducing the system complexity, providing a lower resistive noise contribution due to larger copper cross-section, facilitating a transition from 1D to multidimensional signal generation and acquisition, and implementing an embedded band-stop filter. In this work, a matching condition that governs inductors for resonant combined transmit-receive systems is investigated. To tap the signal, a compromise between the obtained signal strength and power consumption is considered, caused by the chosen circuit topology, that balances both signal loss and power consumption at a -3 dB benchmark.
