Abstract:
The accuracy requirements for adaptive current electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurements exceed the capability of available current sources. A new architecture for an EIT system is described in which the electrode current is set indirectly from a voltage-drive structure. A numerically inverted admittance matrix, obtained from current measurements and driving voltages, has been used to achieve the desired current pattern from programmable voltage sources.
