About

Philipp Matthies is a researcher specializing in intraoperative nuclear imaging, with a particular focus on the development and application of miniaturized gamma camera systems for surgical and clinical environments. His work centers on advancing single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) technology beyond the constraints of traditional whole-body scanners, enabling faster, more flexible radioactivity imaging directly in the operating room. Matthies has made notable contributions to the integration of mini gamma cameras with robotic systems, pioneering their use for intraoperative SPECT reconstruction — a significant step toward real-time, image-guided surgery. His 2014 paper on nuclear tomographic reconstruction with mini gamma cameras has garnered 20 citations, while his earlier work on robotic SPECT reconstruction attracted 13 citations, reflecting growing interest in this specialized field. His research on personalized interventional SPECT-CT imaging further demonstrates a commitment to tailoring nuclear imaging workflows to individual patient needs. Later work exploring flexible reconstruction techniques using both step-and-shoot and list-mode acquisition highlights his ongoing effort to make these compact systems practical for differentiating cancerous tissue intraoperatively. Matthies' contributions represent a meaningful push toward more accessible, precise, and patient-centered nuclear medicine in surgical settings.
