An algorithm is developed for electrical impedance tomography (EIT) of finite cylinders with general cross-sectional boundaries and translationally uniform conductivity distributions. The electrodes for data collection are assumed to be placed around a crosssectional plane; therefore the axial variation of the boundary conditions and also the potential field are expanded in Fourier series. For each Fourier component a two-dimensional (2-D) partial differential equation is derived. Thus the 3-D forward problem is solved as a succession of 2-D problems and it is shown that the Fourier series can be truncated to provide substantial saving in computation time. The finite element method is adopted and the accuracy of the boundary potential differences (gradients) thus calculated is assessed by comparison to results obtained using cylindrical harmonic expansions for circular cylinders. A 1016-element and 541-node mesh is found to be optimal. For a given cross-sectional boundary, the ratios of the gradients calculated for both 2-D and 3-D homogeneous objects are formed. The actual measurements from the 3-D object are multiplied by these ratios and thereafter the tomographic image is obtained by the 2-D iterative equipotential lines method. The algorithm is applied to data collected from phantoms, and the errors incurred from the several assumptions of the method are investigated. The method is also applied to humans and satisfactory images are obtained. It is argued that the method finds an “equivalent” translationally uniform object, the calculated gradients for which are the same as the actual measurements collected. In the absence of any other information about the translational variation of conductance this method is especially suitable for body parts with some translational uniformity.

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...
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...
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...
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...
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...
