Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) image interpretation requires high-quality data. This study introduces a noise figure of merit to assess EIT system performance in clinical settings, ensuring reliable diagnostic imaging.

Area of Science:

  • Biomedical Engineering
  • Medical Imaging Physics

Background:

  • Reliable interpretation of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) images is crucial in clinical settings.
  • The electrically noisy hospital environment necessitates system performance assessment for each investigation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a quantitative figure of merit for assessing EIT system performance.
  • To establish a method for comparing system performance against standards or previous studies.

Main Methods:

  • A noise model was developed based on reciprocity measurements.
  • Variances of differences in reciprocity measurements were calculated as a function of electrode distance.
  • The method minimizes interference from physiological variability.

Main Results:

  • The noise model accurately describes the measurements.
  • A figure of merit was calculated, representing system noise.
  • Typical figures of merit were 7.36 ± 0.03 µV (test card) and 10.50 ± 16 µV (subject data).

Conclusions:

  • The proposed figure of merit provides a reliable measure of EIT system noise.
  • This metric aids in ensuring data quality for clinical EIT interpretation.
  • The method is suitable for routine clinical performance assessment.
