Invasive Electrical Impedance Tomography for Blood Vessel Detection
نویسندگان
چکیده
We present a novel method for localization of large blood vessels using a bioimpedance based needle positioning system on an array of ten monopolar needle electrodes. The purpose of the study is to develop a portable, low cost tool for rapid vascular access for cooling and controlled reperfusion of cardiac arrest patients. Preliminary results show that localization of blood vessels is feasible with this method, but larger studies are necessary to improve the technology.

Evaluation of the use of gold nanoparticle as contrast agent in electrical impedance imaging
Introduction: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a real time and minimal invasive imaging modality for detection of lesions in tissues even when their structures show no changes. Early detection of lesion with EIT depends on difference between electrical impedance of targeted tissue and its surroundings. Therefore, finding a contrast agent for EIT that increase this diffe...

In Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) measurement sinusoidal currents are applied on a surface of the human body and voltage response is measured in order to reconstruct conductivity distribution in a body cross-section. We have constructed an experimental system for EIT measurement based on voltage response to short current pulses. In this case resistive components of body impedance are mea...

An investigation of 3-dimesional (3D) effects on electrical impedance tomography is reported. 3D effects in measurement, simulation and analytical models are described. A 3D attenuation range (75% attenuation) from the sensing plane is suggested as one third of process vessel’s diameter. The imaging trajectory of an axially moving object is found towards the central axis of a process vessel whe...

Minimally invasive surgeries provide lower morbidity and faster recovery compared to conventional surgeries. Since 1995, the cholecystectomy procedure shifted from conventional to minimally invasive by 80%. Despite its popularity and benefits, minimally invasive surgeries have major complications, including vessel and organ injury from difficulties in distinguishing between the two. Currently, ...
