Almost all magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) reconstruction algorithms proposed to date assume isotropic conductivity in order to simplify the image reconstruction. However, it is well known that most of biological tissues have anisotropic conductivity values. In this study, four novel anisotropic conductivity reconstruction algorithms are proposed to reconstruct high resolution conductivity tensor images. Performances of these four algorithms and a previously proposed algorithm are evaluated in several aspects and compared.

Analysis of reconstruction performance of magnetic resonance conductivity tensor imaging (MRCTI) using simulated measurements DEĞİRMENCİ, EVREN; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2017-01-01) Magnetic resonance conductivity tensor imaging (MRCTI) was proposed recently to produce electrical conductivity images of anisotropic tissues. Similar to magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT), MRCTI uses magnetic field and boundary potential measurements obtained utilizing magnetic resonance imaging techniques. MRCTI reconstructs tensor images of anisotropic conductivity whereas MREIT reconstructs isotropic conductivity images. In this study, spatial resolution and linearity of five rec...
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. Current density measurements are obtained making use of Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MR-CDI) techniques and peripheral potential measurements are determined using conventional EIT tech...
Equipotential projection based MREIT reconstruction without potential measurements Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2007-09-02) Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is used to produce high resolution images of true conductivitv distribution. Images are reconstructed by utilising measurements of magnetic flux density distribution and surface potentials. Surface potential measurements are needed to reconstruct true conductivity values. In this study, a novel MREIT reconstruction algorithm is developed to generate conductivity images without utilizing the surface potential measurements. The proposed algorithm and ...
Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography For Anisotropic Conductivity Imaging Degirmenci, E.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2008-11-27) Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) brings high resolution imaging of true conductivity distribution to reality. MREIT images are reconstructed based on measurements of current density distribution and a surface potential value, induced by an externally applied current flow. Since biological tissues may be anisotropic, isotropic conductivity assumption, as it is adopted in most of MREIT reconstruction algorithms, introduces reconstruction inaccuracy. In this study, a novel algorithm i...
Anisotropic Conductivity Imaging with MREIT Using J-substitution and Hybrid J-substitution Algorithms Degirmenci, E.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2009-09-12) Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is a tomographical imaging technique which uses measurements of magnetic flux density induced by a probing current to reconstruct electrical conductivity distribution within a conductor object with magnetic resonance active nuclei. In this study, two novel anisotropic conductivity reconstruction algorithms for MREIT are proposed. The technique is evaluated with simulated measurements.
