Comparison of Image Reconstruction Algorithms in EIT Imaging
نویسندگان
چکیده
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a medical imaging technique which can be used to monitor the regional ventilation in patients utilizing voltage measurements made at the thorax. Several reconstruction algorithms have been developed during the last few years. In this manuscript we compare a well-established algorithm and a recently developed method for image reconstruction regarding EIT indices derived from the differently reconstructed images.

متن کاملElectrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) and Its Medical Applications: A Review
This paper reviews the principles of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), different types of current patterns and reconstruction algorithms to assess its potential in medical imaging. A current injection pattern in EIT has its own current distribution profile within the subject under test. Hence, different current patterns have different sensitivity, spatial resolution and distinguishability....
متن کاملIn Vivo Impedance Imaging With Total Variation Regularization
We show that electrical impedance tomography (EIT) image reconstruction algorithms with regularization based on the total variation (TV) functional are suitable for in vivo imaging of physiological data. This reconstruction approach helps to preserve discontinuities in reconstructed profiles, such as step changes in electrical properties at interorgan boundaries, which are typically smoothed by...

Image Reconstruction in Electric Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an ill-posed problem and regularization techniques are needed in order to obtain meaningful images. Though these techniques allows successful reconstruction, they limit the spatial resolution into the reconstructed image. The ability of reconstruction fast spatial transition in the reconstructed conductivity is important in various ...
متن کاملTracking boundary movement and exterior shape modelling in lung EIT imaging.
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has shown significant promise for lung imaging. One key challenge for EIT in this application is the movement of electrodes during breathing, which introduces artefacts in reconstructed images. Various approaches have been proposed to compensate for electrode movement, but no comparison of these approaches is available. This paper analyses boundary model mi...
