MREIT conductivity imaging based on the local harmonic Bz algorithm: animal experiments
From numerous numerical and phantom experiments, MREIT conductivity imaging based on harmonic Bz algorithm shows that it could be yet another useful medical imaging modality. However, in animal experiments, the conventional harmonic Bz algorithm gives poor results near boundaries of problematic regions such as bones, lungs, and gas-filled stomach, and the subject boundary where electrodes are n...
متن کاملIncorporation of ADC Information Into SMM-based MREIT for Small Animal Conductivity Imaging
Purpose Several ex vivo studies have reported that the electrical impedance of malignancies is lower than healthy tissues and benign formations [Malich et al, Eur Radiol 10:1555-61 (2000)]. Therefore, in vivo conductivity imaging may have potential applications in tumor diagnosis. Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is an emerging, non-invasive conductivity imaging modali...
متن کاملConductivity and Current Density Imaging of Animal Subject using MREIT Technique
We present cross-sectional conductivity and current density images of an animal subject using a 3T Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) system. We injected currents into a postmortem 10Kg piglet in two different directions and measured the induced magnetic flux densities using a 3T MRI scanner. In order to handle defects in the measurements due to MR signal void in a gas-f...
متن کاملNumerical Simulations of MREIT Conductivity Imaging for Brain Tumor Detection
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is a new modality capable of imaging the electrical properties of human body using MRI phase information in conjunction with external current injection. Recent in vivo animal and human MREIT studies have revealed unique conductivity contrasts related to different physiological and pathological conditions of tissues or organs. When perfo...
متن کاملElectrical 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...
