Electrical properties tomography: Available contrast and reconstruction capabilities

Temporal image reconstruction in electrical impedance tomography.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) calculates images of the body from body impedance measurements. While the spatial resolution of these images is relatively low, the temporal resolution of EIT data can be high. Most EIT reconstruction algorithms solve each data frame independently, although Kalman filter algorithms track the image changes across frames. This paper proposes a new approach wh...

A Parallel Reconstruction Scheme in Fluorescence Tomography Based on Contrast of Independent Inversed Absorption Properties

Based on an independent forward model in fluorescent tomography, a parallel reconstructed scheme for inhomogeneous mediums with unknown absorption property is proposed in this paper. The method considers the two diffusion equations as separately describing the propagation of excited light in tissues with and without fluorescent probes inside. Then the concentration of fluorophores is obtained d...

Monotonicity-Based Shape Reconstruction in Electrical Impedance Tomography

Current-voltage measurements in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can be partially ordered with respect to definiteness of the associated self-adjoint Neumann-to-Dirichlet operators. With this ordering, a pointwise larger conductivity leads to smaller current-voltage measurements, and smaller conductivities lead to larger measurements. We present a converse of this simple monotonicity relat...

Contrast-detail analysis characterizing diffuse optical fluorescence tomography image reconstruction.

Contrast-detail analysis is used to evaluate the imaging performance of diffuse optical fluorescence tomography (DOFT), characterizing spatial resolution limits, signal-to-noise limits, and the trade-off between object contrast and size. Reconstructed images of fluorescence yield from simulated noisy data were used to determine the contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR). A threshold of CNR=3 was used to...
