Area of Science:

Medical Imaging
Biomedical Engineering

Background:

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) offers low-cost thoracic imaging but suffers from ill-posed inverse problems, leading to blurred images and artifacts.
Interpretation of EIT images is challenging due to blurring, anatomical misalignment, and reconstruction artifacts.

Purpose of the Study:

To enhance the interpretability of EIT images by introducing a patient-specific structural prior mask.
To ensure conductivity changes are reconstructed only within lung regions.

Main Methods:

Incorporation of a patient-specific structural prior mask into the EIT reconstruction algorithm.
Numerical simulations were performed with varying ventilation statuses and atelectasis scales.
Quantitative analysis using reconstruction error and figures of merit.

Main Results:

The structural prior mask preserved lung morphology in EIT reconstructions.
Reconstruction artifacts were decreased, leading to a 25.9% and 17.7% reduction in reconstruction error for two EIT algorithms.
Improved image interpretability was observed.

Conclusions:

The patient-specific structural prior mask significantly enhances EIT image interpretability.
This method has the potential to improve clinical diagnosis and decision-making.
