Electrical Resistance Tomography Imaging of Concrete

Cracking and deterioration of concrete are the leading causes of a premature failing of reinforced concrete structures. To assess the condition of concrete, a variety of destructive and non-destructive testing methods have been developed. From these two methods, the non-destructive testing (NDT) is a more favorable (albeit more challenging) option since the tested target is left undamaged. The ...

Electrical Resistance Tomography for Subsurface Imaging

Innovative Technology Summary Reports are designed to provide potential users with the information they need to quickly determine whether a technology would apply to a particular environmental management problem. They are also designed for readers who may recommend that a technology be considered by prospective users. Each report describes a technology, system, or process that has been develope...

Numerical Meshless Method in Conjunction with Bayesian Theorem for Electrical Tomography of Concrete

Electric potential measurement technique (tomography) was introduced as a nondestructive method to evaluate concrete properties and durability. In this study, numerical meshless method was developed to solve a differential equation which simulates electric potential distribution for concrete with inclusion in two dimensions. Therefore, concrete samples with iron block inclusion in different loc...

Electrical impedance tomography imaging of larynx

Electrical conductivity imaging by magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT).

Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a recently developed imaging technique that combines MRI and electrical impedance tomography (EIT). In MREIT, cross-sectional electrical conductivity images are reconstructed from the internal magnetic field density data produced inside an electrically conducting subject when an electrical current is injected into the subject. In thi...
