Electrical Impedance Tomography: from Topology to Shape

Electrical impedance tomography : from topology

Abstract: 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 conductivity takes different values.

The Effect of Gold Nanoparticle on Electrical Impedance of Tissue on Low Frequency Ranges

Electrical Impedance Tomography: Topology Optimization

The Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a study of body parts who use electric current. Is studied through computers resistance or conductivity of these parts, producing an image used for medical diagnosis. A body is wrapped in a blanket placed with small electrodes and receivers of electric current, potential difference. Based on data obtained from a series of measurements at the electrod...

Monotonicity-Based Shape Reconstruction in Electrical Impedance Tomography

Current-voltage measurements in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) can be partially ordered with respect to definiteness of the associated self-adjoint Neumann-to-Dirichlet operators. With this ordering, a pointwise larger conductivity leads to smaller current-voltage measurements, and smaller conductivities lead to larger measurements. We present a converse of this simple monotonicity relat...
