The Factorization Method for Electrical Impedance Tomography Data from a New Planar Device
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present numerical results for two reconstruction methods for a new planar electrical impedance tomography device. This prototype allows noninvasive medical imaging techniques if only one side of a patient is accessible for electric measurements. The two reconstruction methods have different properties: one is a linearization-type method that allows quantitative reconstructions; the other one, that is, the factorization method, is a qualitative one, and is designed to detect anomalies within the body.

Recent Progress on the Factorization Method for Electrical Impedance Tomography
The Factorization Method is a noniterative method to detect the shape and position of conductivity anomalies inside an object. The method was introduced by Kirsch for inverse scattering problems and extended to electrical impedance tomography (EIT) by Brühl and Hanke. Since these pioneering works, substantial progress has been made on the theoretical foundations of the method. The necessary ass...
متن کاملLocalized Potentials in Electrical Impedance Tomography
In this work we study localized electric potentials that have an arbitrarily high energy on some given subset of a domain and low energy on another. We show that such potentials exist for general L∞ + -conductivities in almost arbitrarily shaped subregions of a domain, as long as these regions are connected to the boundary and a unique continuation principle is satisfied. From this we deduce a ...
متن کاملApplications 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...
متن کاملDetecting Inclusions in Electrical Impedance Tomography Without Reference Measurements
We develop a new variant of the factorization method that can be used to detect inclusions in electrical impedance tomography from either absolute current-to-voltage measurements at a single, nonzero frequency or from frequency-difference measurements. This eliminates the need for numerically simulated reference measurements at an inclusion-free body and thus greatly improves the method’s robus...
متن کاملCharacterization of Inclusions in Impedance Tomography
The inverse problem of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is to recover the conductivity inside an investigated object from boundary measurements of current and voltage. There is a variety of methods to localize inclusions, i.e. domains in which the conductivity is different from the background conductivity such as e.g. the Factorization method. However, these qualitative methods don’t provi...
