Optical breast shape capture and finite-element mesh generation for electrical impedance tomography.
X-ray mammography is the standard for breast cancer screening. The development of alternative imaging modalities is desirable because mammograms expose patients to ionizing radiation. Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) may be used to determine tissue conductivity, a property which is an indicator of cancer presence. EIT is also a low-cost imaging solution and does not involve ionizing radiat...
متن کاملA High-order Finite Element Method for Electrical Impedance Tomography
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique where a conductivity distribution in a domain is reconstructed from boundary voltage measurements. The voltage data are generated by injecting currents into the domain. This is an ill-conditioned non-linear inverse problem. Small measurement or forward modeling errors can lead to unbounded fluctuations in the reconstructi...
متن کاملthe hp-version of finite element method for electrical impedance tomography with eidors
in this study, focuses on applying the hp-version for forward modeling. the eit forward solver is normally based on the conventional finite element method (hfem). in h-fem, the polynomial order p of the element shape functions is constant and the element size h, is decreased. to accurately simulate the forward solution with the hfem, a mesh with large number of nodes and elements is usually need...
متن کاملElectrical Impedance Tomography: from Topology to Shape
A level set based shape and topology optimization approach to electrical impedance tomography (EIT) problems with piecewise constant conductivities is introduced. The proposed solution algorithm is initialized by using topological sensitivity analysis. Then it relies on the notion of shape derivatives to update the shape of the domains where the conductivity takes its different values.
متن کاملAdaptive mesh refinement techniques for electrical impedance tomography.
Adaptive mesh refinement techniques can be applied to increase the efficiency of electrical impedance tomography reconstruction algorithms by reducing computational and storage cost as well as providing problem-dependent solution structures. A self-adaptive refinement algorithm based on an a posteriori error estimate has been developed and its results are shown in comparison with uniform mesh r...
