نویسندگان
چکیده
In this paper the meshfree method is developed to solve the forward problem for electrical impedance tomography. Differing from finite element method and finite volume method, there is no mesh generation in meshfree method, which is easier to realize and more propitious to be developed as an adaptive procedures for image reconstruction. Numerical simulation results are presented and compared with the results of analytical solution. It is observed that the obtained results are consistent with the results of analytical solution. Streszczenie. W artykule zaproponowano nowa metodę tomograficznej analizy impedancji w której nie generuje się oczek jak na przykład w metodzie elementów skończonych. Dzięki temu uzyskuje się łatwiejsza analizę, w tym także metodami adaptacyjnymi. (Nowa bezoczkowa metoda tomografii impedancji elektrycznej)

Development of an Anatomically Realistic Forward Solver for Thoracic Electrical Impedance Tomography.
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has the potential to provide a low cost and safe imaging modality for clinically monitoring patients being treated with mechanical ventilation. Variations in reconstruction algorithms at different clinical settings, however, make interpretation of regional ventilation across institutions difficult, presenting the need for a unified algorithm for thoracic EI...

متن کاملHigh-Order Regularized Regression in Electrical Impedance Tomography
We present a novel approach for the inverse problem in electrical impedance tomography based on regularized quadratic regression. Our contribution introduces a new formulation for the forward model in the form of a nonlinear integral transform, that maps changes in the electrical properties of a domain to their respective variations in boundary data. Using perturbation theory results the kernel...
متن کاملExperimental Validation of Forward and Inverse Solutions for Electrical Impedance Tomography Using the Boundary Element Method
We report on the results of an EIT phantom study using an experimental tank with agar conductivity inhomogeneities, used to verify the accuracy of both a boundary element method (BEM) forward model and a non-linear inverse solution based on the BEM model. We introduce the shunt electrode model into the BEM equations for greater accuracy and derive the associated Jacobian for the inverse problem...
متن کاملThree-dimensional forward solver and its performance analysis for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) using recessed electrodes.
In magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT), we try to reconstruct a cross-sectional resistivity (or conductivity) image of a subject. When we inject a current through surface electrodes, it generates a magnetic field. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner, we can obtain the induced magnetic flux density from MR phase images of the subject. We use recessed electrode...
