Hall Effect Imaging (HEI) is a method used to image conductivity distribution of a biological body. HEI benefits from the interaction of ultrasound with a static magnetic field to generate velocity current density distribution inside the body. Due to the velocity current density, a resultant voltage is sensed by electrodes attached on surface of the body and used for reconstructing the conductivity distribution. In this study, the feasibility of HEI technique using linear phased array transducer is investigated by numerical studies. A model of 16-element linear phased array transducer is used to benefit from electronic properties of directivity and steerability of linear phased array transducer. In addition, a numerical model of breast and tumor medium is formed to analyze the multiphysics solution which couples acoustics and electromagnetic fields. For image reconstruction, Truncated Singular Value Decomposition method is used with different signal-to-noise ratio values.

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 ...
Design and realization of a hybrid medical imaging system: harmonic motion microwave doppler imaging Tafreshi, Azadeh Kamali; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2016) Harmonic Motion Microwave Doppler Imaging (HMMDI) is a novel imaging modality to image electrical and mechanical properties of body tissues. This modality is recently proposed by the researchers in the METU EEE department for early-stage diagnosis of cancerous tissues. The main goal of this thesis study is to contribute various stages of the HMMDI's development processes. Speci cally, phantom development, dielectric and elastic characterization of the phantoms, experimental system realization, phantom exper...
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...
Numerical implementation of magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) using a linear phased array transducer GÖZÜ, Mehmet Soner; ZENGİN, Reyhan; Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (2018-02-01) In this study, the performance and implementation of magneto-acousto-electrical tomography (MAET) is investigated using a linear phased array (LPA) transducer. The goal of MAET is to image the conductivity distribution in biological bodies. It uses the interaction between ultrasound and a static magnetic field to generate velocity current density distribution inside the body. The resultant voltage due to velocity current density is sensed by surface electrodes attached on the body. In this study, the theory...
New technique for high resolution absolute conductivity imaging using magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) Birgul, O; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Ider, YZ (2001-02-22) A novel MR-EIT imaging modality has been developed to reconstruct high-resolution conductivity images with true conductivity value. In this new technique, electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques are simultaneously used. Peripheral voltages are measured using EIT and magnetic flux density measurements are determined using MRI. The image reconstruction algorithm used is an iterative one, based on minimizing the difference between two current density distributions ...
