Quantification of Biophysical Parameters in Medical Imaging

Ingolf Sack is a Heisenberg professor of the German Research Foundation for Experimental Radiology and Elastography at Charité-Universitätsmedizin Berlin, Germany. He received a PhD in Chemistry from Freie Universität Berlin for the development of methods in NMR spectroscopy. He then worked at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel and at the Sunnybrook Hospital, Toronto. Since 2003 he has led an interdisciplinary team of physicists, engineers, chemists, and physicians who have pioneered pivotal developments in time-harmonic elastography of both MRI and ultrasound for many medical applications.

Tobias Schaeffter is the head of division of Medical Physics and metrological IT at the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt (PTB) in Berlin, Germany. He is also a Professor in Biomedical Imaging at TU Berlin and the Einstein Centre Digital Future. Tobias Schaeffter studied electrical engineering at TU-Berlin and did his PhD in magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) under supervision of Prof. Leibfritz at University Bremen in 1996. From 1996-2006, he worked as a Principal Scientist at the Philips Research Laboratories in Hamburg, Germany, where he managed MR-research projects, their clinical evaluation and product integration. In April 2006, he took up the Philip Harris Professorship of Imaging Sciences at King's College London. In 2012 he became department head of biomedical engineering. Since 2015 he moved to PTB as head of division. A major aim of his research is the investigation of fast and quantitative MR-techniques for cardiovascular applications.

Ingolf Sack 是德國研究基金會在德國柏林查理醫學大學擔任海森堡教授，專注於實驗放射學和彈性成像。他在柏林自由大學獲得化學博士學位，研究主題為核磁共振光譜法的發展。隨後，他在以色列雷霍沃特的魏茲曼科學研究所和加拿大多倫多的桑尼布魯克醫院工作。自2003年以來，他領導一個跨學科團隊，成員包括物理學家、工程師、化學家和醫生，該團隊在MRI和超聲波的時間諧波彈性成像方面開創了許多醫療應用的關鍵發展。

Tobias Schaeffter 是德國柏林物理技術聯邦研究所（PTB）醫學物理與計量IT部門的負責人。他同時也是柏林工業大學的生物醫學影像教授以及愛因斯坦數位未來中心的教授。Tobias Schaeffter 在柏林工業大學學習電機工程，並於1996年在不來梅大學的Leibfritz教授指導下獲得磁共振光譜成像（MRSI）博士學位。1996年至2006年，他在德國漢堡的飛利浦研究實驗室擔任首席科學家，負責管理MR研究項目、臨床評估及產品整合。2006年4月，他在倫敦國王學院擔任影像科學的Philip Harris教授。2012年，他成為生物醫學工程部門的負責人。自2015年以來，他轉至PTB擔任部門負責人。他研究的主要目標是探討用於心血管應用的快速定量MR技術。
