A two-dimensional forward problem formulation is introduced for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) using induced currents. The forward problem is linearised around a certain resistivity distribution and the inverse problem is formulated as a solution of a linear system of equations. Sensitivity of boundary measurements to resistivity variations arc analysed for spatially uniform, linear and quadratic fields. The formulation, however, is suitable for studying the effects of a general magnetic field applied to induce the currents in the conductive object. A similar inverse problem formulation is also developed for EIT using injected currents. Simulation studies are performed by reconstructing images of a simulation distribution using both methods separately with generalised inversion. It is also shown that the derived formulations for the inverse problems of the two methods can be combined to solve a larger set of equations with a greater number of independent measurements.

ANALYSIS OF 3-DIMENSIONAL SOFTWARE EIT PHANTOMS BY THE FINITE-ELEMENT METHOD Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; IDER, YZ (IOP Publishing, 1992-01-01) In electrical impedance tomography, two-dimensional (2D) finite element solutions are used in the imaging algorithms. It is assumed that a major part of the current flowing through the object is restricted to the measurement plane (i.e. the plane determined by the electrodes which are used for measuring voltage differences) and the current flowing elsewhere is negligible. However, there is usually a three-dimensional (3D) variation of the conductivity distribution and if there are regions of high contrast c...
DETERMINATION OF THE BOUNDARY OF AN OBJECT INSERTED INTO A WATER-FILLED CYLINDER IDER, YZ; NAKIBOGLU, B; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 1992-01-01) In order to circumvent the electrode position determination problem in static electrical impedance tomography, it is possible to insert the object to be imaged into a water-filled cylinder on which the electrodes are at fixed and known positions. It has previously been shown that if the boundary of the internally placed object and the conductivity of the salty water in the cylinder are known, then a significant improvement in the conductivity image of the object is obtained. An algorithm for finding the bou...
Two alternatives for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography: injected or induced current Eroglu, Hasan H.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 2016-11-01) In this paper, the abilities of injected current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) and induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (ICMREIT) systems to differentiate a conductivity perturbation from an otherwise uniform conductivity distribution are compared. The sensitivity of MREIT measurements changes as a function of distance to the electrodes used for current injection. The sensitivity of ICMREIT measurements is related to the radial location, being a min...
Numerical analysis of ablation process on a two dimensional external surface Aykan, Fatma Serap; Dursunkaya, Zafer (2008-01-01) The thermal response analysis of an ablative material on a two dimensional external surface is performed. The method considers the whole domain as one continuous computational domain, eliminating the necessity to check the starting and ending positions of the decomposition zone. The current study solves the decomposition of the material at high temperatures by using the nth order Arrhenius equation but excludes the removal of char from the surface due to mechanical erosion or phase change and considers that...
ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY USING INDUCED CURRENTS Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa (1994-06-01) The mathematical basis of a new imaging modality, Induced Current Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), is investigated. The ultimate aim of this technique is the reconstruction of conductivity distribution of the human body, from voltage measurements made between electrodes placed on the surface, when currents are induced inside the body by applied time varying magnetic fields. In this study the two-dimensional problem is analyzed. A specific 9-coil system for generating nine different exciting magnetic f...
