A new algorithm improves induced-current electrical impedance tomography (IC-EIT) for human thorax imaging. A six-coil system significantly enhances conductivity reconstruction accuracy compared to a three-coil system.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Electromagnetics

Background:

  • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique.
  • Induced-current EIT (IC-EIT) offers potential for thoracic imaging.
  • Accurate reconstruction algorithms are crucial for IC-EIT performance.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and evaluate a novel reconstruction algorithm for IC-EIT.
  • To assess the algorithm's performance in a 2D human thorax model.
  • To investigate the impact of system configurations (coils, electrodes) on imaging accuracy.

Main Methods:

  • A modified Newton-Raphson algorithm was employed for reconstruction.
  • The finite-volume method was used for domain discretization.

  • Symbolic Jacobian matrix generation ensured accuracy and speed.
  • Simulations were conducted with varying numbers of excitation coils and electrodes.

    • Main Results:

    • A six-coil system demonstrated a 40% improvement in conductivity reconstruction compared to a three-coil system (2.06 vs. 3.44 omega(-1) error).
    • 32 electrodes were found to be sufficient for reasonable performance, with only a 4.2% degradation in average conductivity error.
    • The developed algorithm provided accurate and fast Jacobian matrix construction.

    Conclusions:

    • The modified Newton-Raphson algorithm is effective for IC-EIT reconstruction.
    • System configuration, specifically the number of coils and electrodes, significantly impacts thoracic imaging accuracy.
    • The findings support the potential of IC-EIT for improved non-invasive thoracic diagnostics.
