Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a developing medical imaging technique.
  • Accurate EIT imaging of the head is crucial for diagnosing neurological conditions like stroke.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop and calibrate a new, compact UCLH Mk 2.5 EIT system for head imaging.
  • To assess the system's accuracy and performance for detecting severe acute stroke.

Main Methods:

  • Development and calibration of a novel compact UCLH Mk 2.5 EIT system.
  • Characterization of system performance including impedance, bandwidth, CMRR, and linearity.
  • Validation using anatomical modeling specifications and a preliminary human study with 32 electrodes.

Main Results:

  • The UCLH Mk 2.5 EIT system exhibits improved input/output impedances, bandwidth, CMRR (80 dB), and linearity.
  • System accuracy meets specifications for imaging severe acute stroke.
  • Human study confirmed head trans-impedance range (8-70 Omega) and electrode contact impedances (300 Omega to 2.7 kOmega) across 20 Hz-256 kHz.

Conclusions:

  • The new compact UCLH Mk 2.5 EIT system is suitable for head imaging.
  • The system's validated accuracy supports its potential for diagnosing severe acute stroke.
  • Further validation in clinical settings is warranted.
