Am Donnerstag, dem 26.04.2018 findet im Konferenzraum der ExFa (1. Etage) ab 15.00 Uhr das STIMULATE-Kolloquium statt.
Vortragender: Christoph Kolbitsch, Ph.D., Head of Research Group Quantitative MRI, Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt Berlin
Vortragstitel: "Overview of the methods with a focus on MR-based motion estimation and correction for MR and simultaneous Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-MR applications"
Interessierte sind herzlich eingeladen.
Abstract:
Physiological motion, such as the movement of the head, respiratory motion or the heartbeat, is still a major challenge in Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) especially for high-resolution 3D imaging. Motion can strongly degrade image quality and can even lead to scan abortions. There is a wide range of different techniques which have been developed to compensate for motion ranging from simple data rejection techniques (i.e. motion gating) to more complex motion correction approaches.
Curriculum Vitae
Dr. Christoph Kolbitsch studied Physics at the Technical University in Vienna before moving to King’s College London in 2009 to do a PhD on „Advanced Techniques for Cardiovascular Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) in Cases of Irregular Motion”. After finishing his PhD in 2012 he stayed at King’s College London to work as a postdoctoral research associate on motion estimation and correction for Positron Emission Tomography (PET)-MR applications. In 2015 he came to Berlin and is currently head of the research group “Quantitative MRI” at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundestanstalt, Germany’s national metrology institute. The work of his group ranges from model-based image reconstruction for quantitative MR tissue characterisation to cardiac and respiratory motion correction to improve the accuracy and reproducibility of cardiac PET.
