In this study, the new imaging modality Lorentz Field Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT) is investigated. In LFEIT, the main aim is finding the conductivity distribution of different tissues. This method is based on the development of the current density distribution in the conductive medium. To develop the current density, the object is located in a static magnetic field and pressure wave due to an ultrasonic transducer develops particle movements inside the body. As a result, a velocity current distribution is created in the conductive medium via Lorentz force. An induction coil sensor placed around the body is utilized to measure the change in the magnetic flux density due to the velocity current distribution. To simulate the new technique, multiphysics solution is required which couples acoustic and electromagnetic equations. These equations in the conductive medium are reviewed and the numerical tools such as Finite Element Method (FEM) and Finite Difference Time Domain (FDTD) are used for their solution. To relate the conductive perturbation to the measurement, general time dependence reciprocal relation is used. The continuous forward problem is linearized and discretized to obtain a linear system of equations. The sensitivity matrix is obtained for different coil configurations and ultrasound transducer positions and its characteristics are analyzed. Thereafter, the image reconstruction algorithms and regularization methods are evaluated by means of the simulation data. The results show that, the imaging system provides high resolution for conductivity perturbation. Moreover, an initial experimental study is given to demonstrate the proof of the concept.

2D Simulations Based on General Time-Dependent Reciprocal Relation for LFEIT KARADAŞ, Mursel; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2015-08-29) Lorentz field electrical impedance tomography (LFEIT) is a newly proposed technique for imaging the conductivity of the tissues by measuring the electromagnetic induction under the ultrasound pressure field. In this paper, the theory and numerical simulations of the LFEIT are reported based on the general time dependent formulation. In LFEIT, a phased array ultrasound probe is used to introduce a current distribution inside a conductive body. The velocity current occurs, due to the movement of the conductiv...
Equipotential projection based magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (mr-eit) for high resolution conductivity imaging Özdemir, Mahir Sinan; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003) In this study, a direct reconstruction algorithm for Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT) is proposed and experimentally implemented for high resolution true conductivity imaging. In MR-EIT, elec trical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are combined together.

In ICMREIT, by fast switching of gradient fields of Magnetic Resonance (MR) system eddy currents are induced in the imaging volume. The secondary magnetic field generated by the induced eddy currents can be extracted from the MR phase images. Image reconstruction algorithms then us...
Regional Image Reconstruction with Optimum Currents for MREIT - Evaluation on Shepp-Logan Conductivity Phantom Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Altunel, Haluk (2008-11-27) In this study, an image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is proposed to achieve maximum benefit of optimum current injection patterns. By doing so, considerable reduction in probing current amplitude could be possible. In the proposed algorithm, field of view (FOV) is divided into a number of segments. Image of each segment is reconstructed separately, based on measurements obtained using the best (optimum) current patterns, which maximize distinguishab...
Induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (ICMREIT) with low frequency switching of gradient fields Eroğlu, Hasan Hüseyin; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017) In this thesis, it is aimed to investigate induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (ICMREIT) starting from modeling and analysis to experimental validation. Forward and inverse problems of ICMREIT are formulated. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequence is proposed for the realization of ICMREIT using the slice selection (z) gradient coil of MRI scanners. Considering the proposed MRI pulse sequence, relationship between the low frequency (LF) MR phase and the secondary ma...
