Electrical conductivity of biological tissues provides valuable information on physiological and pathological state of tissues. This may provide conductivity imaging a great potential to have diagnostic applications in clinical field. Developing a method that is able to recognize conductivity variations inside human body has received a great attention over the last decades. Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is an imaging modality that utilizes current injection during magnetic resonance imaging to visualize conductivity distributions. In conventional MREIT pulse sequence, current is injected once in each repetition time (TR), which makes scan time quite long. Reducing imaging time helps in avoiding motion artifacts and reducing patient discomfort. In addition, a shorter scan time facilitates improving Signal-to-Noise Ratio (SNR) by averaging, and obtaining 3D images. In this thesis, a novel MREIT pulse sequence is proposed to reduce scan time by injecting two current profiles in each TR. This pulse sequence utilizes Spatial Modulation of Magnetization (SPAMM) technique to make recovering magnetic flux information due to each injected current profile achievable. This concept is implemented in two different pulse sequences, Spin-Echo (SE) and Gradient-Echo (GE), and evaluated using simulation models and phantom experiments. The performance of the proposed method is investigated in SNR, minimum measurable current and T 2* relaxation effect. Obtained results demonstrated that the proposed method is able to collect data twice faster with retained resolution, in comparison with the conventional MREIT.

Development of reconstruction algorithms for magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography and experimental realization
Birgül, Özlem; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; İder, Y. Ziya; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2002)
The electrical properties of biological tissues differ among tissues and vary with physiological and pathological state of a solution of bioelectrical field problems. The aim of this study is to reconstruct conductivity images with higher resolution and better accuracy than existing conductivity imaging tech niques. In order to achieve our goal, we proposed a technique named as Mag netic Resonance-Electrical Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT). MR-EIT com bines peripheral voltage measurements of classical Electri...
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography based on MRI-SPAMM
Sümser, Kemal; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016)
Electrical conductivity of biological tissues differs among different kinds of tissues. Information about measured impedance of a tissue gives great deal of information about pathological state of the tissue and some biomedical applications requires this information. Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MRCDI) and Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) are two imaging modalities which investigates current and conductivity distribution inside objects by utilizing the magnetic flux ...
Magnetic resonance conductivity tensor imaging (MRCTİ) at 3 tesla
Sadighi, Mehdi; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2014)
Electrical conductivity of biological tissues changes with physiological and pathological state of tissue. Therefore, recognizing the changes of the conductivity distribution inside human body, provides unique information about the pathological conditions of internal organs which is not available from other imaging modalities. Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is an imaging technique to reconstruct the isotropic conductivity distribution of the biological tissues. But most of the bi...
Data acquisition system for MAET with magnetic field measurements
Kaboutari, Keivan; Tetik, Ahmet Onder; Ghalichi, Elyar; Gozu, Mehmet Soner; Zengin, Reyhan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2019-06-01)
Magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) is an imaging modality to image the electrical conductivity of biological tissues. It is based on electrical current induction by using ultrasound under a static magnetic field. The aim of this study is to develop a data acquisition system for MAET based on magnetic field measurements. The static magnetic field is generated by six permanent neodymium magnets. A 16-element linear phased array (LPA) transducer is utilized to generate acoustic pressure waves inside ...
High resolution imaging of anisotropic conductivity with magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (mr-eit)
Değirmenci, Evren; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2010)
Electrical conductivity of biological tissues is a distinctive property which differs among tissues. It also varies according to the physiological and pathological state of tissues. Furthermore, in order to solve the bioelectric field problems accurately, electrical conductivity information is essential. Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) technique is proposed to image this information with high spatial resolution. However, almost all MREIT algorithms proposed to date assumes isotrop...
