Abstract:
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a known technique to monitor impedance changes in a cross-section of a body segment, which recently gained increasing interest for regional ventilation monitoring. In this paper, we focus on hemodynamic monitoring using EIT. Past and ongoing research activities to obtain cardiac related signals and regional perfusion information from EIT image streams are summarized. Finally, we present some preliminary results on stroke volume estimation using EIT.
