Computing Volume Bounds of Inclusions by Eit Measurements
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract. The size estimates approach for Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) allows for estimating the size (area or volume) of an unknown inclusion in an electrical conductor by means of one pair of boundary measurements of voltage and current. In this paper we show by numerical simulations how to obtain such bounds for practical application of the method. The computations are carried out both in a 2–D and a 3–D setting.

Recovery of inclusion separations in strongly heterogeneous composites from effective property measurements
An effective property of a composite material consisting of inclusions within a host matrix depends on the geometry and connectedness of the inclusions. This dependence may be quite strong if the constituents have highly contrasting properties. Here we consider the inverse problem of using effective property data to obtain information on the geometry of the microstructure. While previous work h...
متن کاملCircular resistor networks for electrical impedance tomography with partial boundary measurements
We introduce an algorithm for the numerical solution of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in two dimensions, with partial boundary measurements. The algorithm is an extension of the one in [11, 49] for EIT with full boundary measurements. It is based on resistor networks that arise in finite volume discretizations of the elliptic partial differential equation for the potential, on so-called...
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...
متن کاملMonitoring changes in lung air and liquid volumes with electrical impedance tomography.
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) uses electrical measurements at electrodes placed around the thorax to image changes in the conductivity distribution within the thorax. This technique is well suited to studying pulmonary function because the movement of air, blood, and extravascular fluid induces significant conductivity changes within the thorax. We conducted three experimental protocols...
متن کامل[Measuring breathing pattern in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease by electrical impedance tomography].
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE The measurement of breathing pattern in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) by electrical impedance tomography (EIT) requires the use of a mathematical calibration model incorporating not only anthropometric characteristics (previously evaluated in healthy individuals) but probably functional alterations associated with COPD as well. The aim of th...
