Can bronchoconstriction and bronchodilatation in horses be detected using electrical impedance tomography?

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...

Electrical impedance tomography can monitor dynamic hyperinflation in dogs.

We assessed in eight dogs the accuracy with which electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can monitor changes in lung volume by comparing the changes in mean lung conductivity obtained with EIT to changes in esophageal pressure (Pes) and to airway opening pressure (Pao) measured after airway occlusion. The average volume measurement errors were determined: 26 ml for EIT; 35 ml for Pao; and 54 ml ...

Imaging UXO Using Electrical Impedance Tomography

This paper reports the results of tests where electrical impedance tomography (EIT) was evaluated as a tool for detecting and locating buried unexploded ordnance (UXO). The method relies on the electrolytic polarization induced at the boundary between soil and buried metal. This induced polarization (IP) produces a measurable phase delay between the electric current imposed on the subsurface an...

Breast Imaging using Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)

Electrical impedance tomography

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.
