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) reconstructs the spatial distribution of magnetic nanoparticles on a fixed grid, the resolution of which is limited by the noise present in the system. This paper addresses the reconstruction problem while integrating single-image super-resolution for concentration maps. We introduce Neural Implicit Representations (NIR) as an image prior, enabling arbitrary grid size sampling after training. Experimental results using a spiral phantom measurement reveal that NIR-based reconstruction maintains image sharpness across diverse grid sizes, surpassing the two-stage Kaczmarz-$\ell_2$ reconstruction followed by bicubic up-sampling in preserving fine structural details. This technique has a potential for high-resolution MPI imaging without relying on extensive datasets.
