Detection of Vesicoureteral Reflux 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...

Breast Cancer Detection Using Electrical Impedance Tomography: Spice Simulation

A WO dimensional. 16-electrode Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system has been simulated using PSPICE to determine whether EIT can be used as a screening technique for early breast cancer detection. Simulation results show that a tumor of area of 1% of the cross-sectional breast model area produces more than 4% variation in the voltage magnitude at the surface electrodes when compared to ...

Bioelectric Impedance Analysis in the Diagnosis of Vesicoureteral Reflux

BACKGROUND Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common abnormality of the urinary tract in childhood. OBJECTIVES As urine enters the ureters and renal pelvis during voiding in vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), we hypothesized that change in body water composition before and after voiding may be less different in children with VUR. PATIENTS AND METHODS Patients were grouped as those with VUR (Group 1...

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...
