A new D-bar algorithm reconstructs conductivity changes using electrical impedance tomography (EIT) data. This method visualizes conductivity variations in a 2D human torso cross-section during the cardiac cycle.

Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Computational Mathematics
  • Biophysics

Background:

  • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique.
  • Reconstructing conductivity changes from EIT data is a challenging inverse problem.
  • Previous methods lacked practical algorithms for 2D geometries.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present a practical D-bar algorithm for 2D inverse conductivity problems.
  • To reconstruct conductivity changes from EIT data using a novel approach.
  • To visualize dynamic conductivity changes in the human torso.

Main Methods:

  • Developed a D-bar algorithm based on Nachman's uniqueness proof.
  • Applied the algorithm to EIT data collected from electrodes on a human chest.
