چکیده

As implied by its name, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is to reconstruct an impedance distribution in an object of interest from electrical measurement on the boundary of the object. Because of its non-invasiveness, portability and practical utilities, EIT has been actively studied since 1970s and led to many useful and inspiring results. There are already two books on this subject. One is a general textbook published in 1990 [1]. The other is a monograph from a conference on biomedical applications in 1992 [2]. Given the steady development in EIT theory, technology and applications over the past decade, the book under review is indeed overdue to provide an overview of such a fascinating field.

Applications of Electrical Impedance Tomography in Neurology

Introduction: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive technique utilized in various medical applications, including brain imaging and other neurological diseases. Recognizing the physiological and anatomical characteristics of organs based on their electrical properties is one of the main applications of EIT, as each variety of tissue structure has its own electrical characteris...

Wide-Bandwidth, High Frame Rate Electrical Impedance Tomography / Spectroscopy - a Code Division Multiplexing (CDM) Approach

We present a proposal and proof-of-concept, experimental results for a new type of electrical impedance tomography / spectroscopy system that makes use of code division multiplexing to achieve two important technological advances. Assigning each channel an orthogonal code allow all the impedance measurements to be made simultaneously in time, thereby increasing the frame rate; and the use of ps...

Imaging fast electrical activity in the brain with electrical impedance tomography

Imaging of neuronal depolarization in the brain is a major goal in neuroscience, but no technique currently exists that could image neural activity over milliseconds throughout the whole brain. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an emerging medical imaging technique which can produce tomographic images of impedance changes with non-invasive surface electrodes. We report EIT imaging of imp...

Image Theory for Electrical Impedance Tomography

The first step of medical treatment is the diagnosis. This investigation is focused on some fundamental mathematical and physical characteristics of such diagnostic tool, namely the Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), a subject of great scientific and public interest (Holder, 2005; Brown, 2003; Lionheart, 2004). The basic EIT’s assumption is that different biological tissues can be distingui...

Validation of a finite-element solution for electrical impedance tomography in an anisotropic medium.

Electrical impedance tomography is an imaging method, with which volumetric images of conductivity are produced by injecting electrical current and measuring boundary voltages. It has the potential to become a portable non-invasive medical imaging technique. Until now, implementations have neglected anisotropy even though human tissues such as bone, muscle and brain white matter are markedly an...
