Lorentz Force Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT) is a novel imaging modality to image electrical conductivity properties of biological tissues. This modality is recently proposed for early stage diagnosis of cancerous tissues. The main aim of this thesis study is to develop a data acquisition system for LFEIT. Design of contactless receiver sensor, static magnetic field generation (0.56 T is generated by permanent neodymium magnets), amplification of received signals and experimental studies using various phantoms are in the scope of this thesis. Measurement of the AC magnetic fields generated by the induced Lorentz currents using coil sensors at the resonance frequency is the aim of this thesis. In this study, disk multiple layer receiver coil sensors are used in both numerical simulations and experiments. Physical and electrical characteristics of the sensors are evaluated. A design tool is developed using MATLAB, where the physical properties of the coil sensors are defined as inputs of the design tool. The electrical properties such as DC and AC resistance, resonance frequency and quality factor of the coil sensors are obtained as outputs. One of the coil sensors designed by this tool is used in the experimental studies. Sensitivity, signal to noise ratio, thermal noise and quality factor of the realized coil are about 392.72 nmV/HzA, 39.32 dB, 33.83 nV and 29, respectively. Minimum detectable AC magnetic field by the realized coil is about 0.17 pT. A custom made two stage amplifier is designed and utilized in the receiving system. The gain and upper 3dB frequency of the cascaded amplifiers are 100 dB and 1.02 MHz frequency, respectively. Pre-stage amplifier's gain, input RMS voltage noise and minimum RMS detectable signal are 52 dB, 5.09 and 7.19 uV. By connecting the realized coil to the pre-stage amplifier, input RMS voltage noise and minimum RMS detectable signal are increased to 6.28 and 8.87 uV. Then, pre-stage amplifier output is about 3.55 mV. Second stage amplifier's gain and minimum RMS detectable signal are 48 dB and 0.84 uV (-121.52 dB), respectively. Note that, the pre-stage amplifier output is greater than the minimum RMS detectable signal of the second stage. For experimental studies, four phantoms with inhomogeneities in electrical conductivity are developed (70, 800-3000 and 8times 10^6 S/m). The prepared phantoms are utilized in the LFEIT experimental system and generated signals are measured by the designed coil sensor. Signals originating from conductivity inhomogeneities reveal the location of inhomogeneities. Acquired signals are also used in order to generate fast LFEIT images of the phantoms.

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 ...

Tetik, Ahmet Önder; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2018)
Lorentz Force Electrical Impedance Tomography based on magnetic field measurements (LFEIT) is a hybrid imaging modality to image the electrical impedance of body tissues. In this modality, ultrasound pressure waves applied to the body tissues under static magnetic fields induce Lorentz currents. Magnetic flux density due to these currents is measured using receiver coils. The main aim of this thesis is to develop an experimental setup and a data acquisition system to obtain LFEIT sig nals from phantoms. Mor...
Electrical Impedance Tomography Induced Current
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2006-01-01)
The ultimate goal of induced‐current electrical impedance tomography (ICEIT) is to image the electrical impedance distribution within the human body. In ICEIT, time‐varying magnetic fields are applied to induce currents in the body and surface voltage measurements are used to reconstruct impedance distribution. Time‐varying fields are usually generated by sinusoidal current‐carrying wires encircling the conducting body. Given the conductivity distribution, calculating the surface voltages due a given coil c...
Design and Assembly of a Static Magnetic Field Generator for Lorentz Field Electrical Impedance Tomography
Tetik, Ahmet Onder; Ghalichi, Elyar; Kaboutari, Keivan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2016-01-01)
In Lorentz Field Electrical Impedance Tomography (LFEIT), ultrasound waves are transmitted to a tissue under static magnetic field. Magnetic fields of currents generated in boundaries where conductivity difference exists because of vibrations are measured with coils. In this study, a static magnetic field is created with permanent magnets and magnetic core for LFEIT. The contribution of magnetic core to the created magnetic flux density is demonstrated. Based on these simulation studies magnetic core is des...
Distinguishability for Magnetic Resonance-Electric Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT)
Altunel, H.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; KÖKSAL, ADNAN (2006-09-01)
In magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography, magnetic flux density due to current injection is the measured quantity. Different conductivity distributions create different magnetic flux density distributions. Distinguishability for MR-EIT is defined using this fact. The definition is general and valid for 2D as well as 3D structures of any shape. It is not always possible to find an analytic expression for distinguishability. However, when a 2D cylindrical body with concentric inhomogeneity is con...
