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...

OBJECTIVE To utilize real-time electrical impedance tomography to guide lung protective ventilation in an animal model of acute respiratory distress syndrome. DESIGN Prospective animal study. SETTING Animal research center. SUBJECTS Twelve Yorkshire swine (15 kg). INTERVENTIONS Lung injury was induced with saline lavage and augmented using large tidal volumes. The control group (n = 6) ...

Introduction: Electrical impedance of tissues on low frequencies includes useful information about functional and structural changes in tissues. This property is used in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging modality for the detection of lesions in tissues.Objective: The goal of this article is to study changes in electrical impedance of tissues in the presence of gold nanoparticles.Mat...

Electrical impedance tomography is a new technology giving us lung imaging that may allow lung function to be monitored at the bedside. Several applications have been studied to guide mechanical ventilation at the bedside with electrical impedance tomography. Positive end-expiratory pressure trials guided by electrical impedance tomography are relevant in terms of recruited volume or homogeneit...

We review theoretical and numerical studies of the inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography which seeks the electrical conductivity and permittivity inside a body, given simultaneous measurements of electrical currents and potentials at the boundary. (Some figures in this article are in colour only in the electronic version)

This paper surveys some of the work our group has done in electrical impedance tomography.
