Area of Science:

  • Medical imaging
  • Electrical impedance tomography
  • Biopsy techniques

Background:

  • Conventional medical diagnostics rely on discrete tissue biopsies, often guided by ultrasound.
  • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) offers a non-invasive imaging method, but its integration with biopsy procedures is underexplored.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To experimentally validate the theoretical concept of using biopsy probes for Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) data acquisition.
  • To image tissue heterogeneities between discrete biopsy sampling sites.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized gel phantoms to simulate biological tissue and its heterogeneities.
  • Conducted experiments in 2-D and 3-D configurations, collecting EIT data discretely through single probe insertions.
  • Employed linear superposition principles to reconstruct images from collected electrical data.

Main Results:

  • Successfully produced reasonable quality images of heterogeneities larger than 3 mm (1:5 conductivity ratio) in 2-D configurations.
  • Achieved imaging of heterogeneities with relative conductivity differences exceeding 50% (5 mm diameter).

Conclusions:

  • The study confirms the feasibility of integrating EIT with conventional biopsy sampling for enhanced tissue visualization.
  • This novel approach allows for the generation of EIT images between biopsy sites, potentially improving diagnostic accuracy.
