The problem this paper addresses is how to use the two-dimensional D-bar method for electrical impedance tomography with experimental data collected on finitely many electrodes covering a portion of the boundary of a body. This requires an approximation of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann, or voltage-to-current density map, defined on the entire boundary of the region, from a finite number of matrix elements of the current-to-voltage map. Reconstructions from experimental data collected on a saline filled tank containing agar heart and lung phantoms are presented, and the results are compared to reconstructions by the NOSER algorithm on the same data.

Introduction: This study aims to investigate the effect of different particle sizes and pressures on the shear bond strength (SBS) and the roughness (Ra) of polyetheretherketone.
Materials And Methods: A total of 117 polyetheretherketone specimens were fabricated and divided into a control (CN: no air-particle abrasion) and eight pre-treatment groups (air-abraded with 50- or 110-μm Al2O3 particles at 1(A), 1.5(B), 2(C), and 2.

Background: Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a nonionizing imaging technique for real-time imaging of ventilation of patients with respiratory distress. Cross-sectional dynamic images are formed by reconstructing the conductivity distribution from measured voltage data arising from applied alternating currents on electrodes placed circumferentially around the chest. Since the conductivity of lung tissue depends on air content, blood flow, and the presence of pathology, the dynamic images provide regional information about ventilation, pulsatile perfusion, and abnormalities.

Calderón's method is a direct linearized reconstruction method for the inverse conductivity problem with the attribute that it can provide absolute images of both conductivity and permittivity with no need for forward modeling. In this work, an explicit relationship between Calderón's method and the D-bar method is provided, facilitating a "higher-order" Calderón's method in which a correction term is included, derived from the relationship to the D-bar method. Furthermore, a method of including a spatial prior is provided.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an imaging modality where a patient or object is probed using harmless electric currents. The currents are fed through electrodes placed on the surface of the target, and the data consists of voltages measured at the electrodes resulting from a linearly independent set of current injection patterns. EIT aims to recover the internal distribution of electrical conductivity inside the target.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFElectrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique in which images of the conductivity in a region of interest in the body are computed from measurements of voltages on electrodes arising from low-frequency, low-amplitude applied currents. Mathematically, the inverse conductivity problem is nonlinear and ill-posed, and the reconstructions have characteristically low spatial resolution. One approach to improve the spatial resolution of EIT images is to include anatomically and physiologically-based prior information in the reconstruction algorithm.
