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 calculated from voltage and magnetic flux density measurements separately. The performance of the proposed method and the suggested reconstruction algorithm are tested on simulated data. A finite element model with 1089 nodes and 2048 triangular elements is used to generate the simulated potential and magnetic field measurements. A 16 electrode opposite drive EIT strategy is adopted. The spatial resolution is space independent and limited by either the finite element size or half the MR resolution. The worst of the two defines the spatial resolution. The rms error in reconstructed conductivity for a concentric inhomogeneity is calculated as 5.35% and this error increases to 13.22% when 10% uniformly distributed random noise is added to potential and magnetic flux density measurements. The performance of the algorithm for more complex models will also be presented.

Magnetic Resonance - Electrical Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT) Research at METU Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2006-09-01) Following development of magnetic resonance current density imaging (MRCDI), magnetic resonance - electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) has emerged as a promising approach to produce high resolution conductivity images. Electric current applied to a conductor results in a potential field and a magnetic flux density distribution. Using a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system, the magnetic flux density distribution can be reconstructed as in MRCDI. The flux density is related to the current density distr...

Magnetic resonance current density imaging using one component of magnetic flux density Ersoz, Ali; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2013-03-01) Current density distribution generated inside a volume conductor by externally applied currents can be calculated by using spatial distribution of its magnetic flux density, . The imaging modality used to reconstruct images of the current density distribution is known as magnetic resonance current density imaging (MRCDI). In MRCDI, spatial distribution of the current-induced magnetic flux density is measured on a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) platform. Calculation of current density distribution from mag...
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 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 ...
