This study quantifies systematic errors in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) imaging. Despite errors, most images accurately reflect true tissue conductivity changes, particularly in erector spinae muscles.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a developing imaging modality.
  • Systematic errors can affect the accuracy of EIT conductivity reconstructions.
  • Understanding and quantifying these errors is crucial for reliable clinical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To measure and characterize systematic errors in a multi-frequency EIT system.
  • To assess the impact of identified errors on the accuracy of reconstructed conductivity images.
  • To validate the findings in human subjects.

Main Methods:

  • A multi-frequency data-collection system (10.24–81.92 kHz) was used to measure systematic errors.
  • Errors from transimpedance changes, cable movement, and electrode-skin contact impedance were simulated.

  • Image quality and conductivity changes were analyzed in three human subjects.

    • Main Results:

    • Systematic errors were quantified, equivalent to a 9% change in tissue conductivity.
    • Over 89% of the EIT image represented data above the total error magnitude.
    • Significant conductivity increases (73–104%) were observed in erector spinae muscles.

    Conclusions:

    • The multi-frequency EIT system can produce largely accurate conductivity images, despite inherent systematic errors.
    • Identified erector spinae muscles showed substantial conductivity increases.
    • Poor spatial resolution limited the identification of other anatomical features.
