A statistically constrained minimum mean squares error estimator (MiMSEE) has been shown to be useful in estimating internal resistivity distribution by the use of simulated data. In this study, the performance of the MiMSEE algorithm is tested by using measured data from resistor phantoms. The MiMSEE uses a priori information on body geometry, electrode position, statistical properties of tissue resistivities, instrumentation noise and linearization error to calculate the optimum inverse matrix which maps the surface potentials to unknown regional resistivities. In this study, the MiMSEE is also constrained with the variance-covariance of the modelling error to improve the estimation accuracy. The data are obtained from two different phantom geometries, namely five-region and thorax. Using the measured data, the estimations are realized and errors are calculated. Then, the results are compared with the results obtained by using a conventional least squares error estimator (LSEE). The five-region model results show similarity with the simulation study results of Baysal and Eyuboglu. On the thorax model, the total estimation error is 34.2% with the MiMSEE compared with 856% with the LSEE. It is concluded that the MiMSEE is more robust than the LSEE and applicable to measured data.

Use of a priori information in estimating tissue resistivities - a simulation study
Baysal, U; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 1998-12-01)
Accurate estimation of tissue resistivities in vivo is needed to construct reliable human body volume conductor models in solving forward and inverse bioelectric field problems. The necessary data for the estimation can be obtained by using ht four-electrode impedance measurement technique, usually employed in electrical impedance tomography. In this study, a priori geometrical information with statistical properties of regional resistivities and linearization error as well as instrumentation noise has been...
ESTIMATION OF TISSUE RESISTIVITIES FROM MULTIPLE-ELECTRODE IMPEDANCE MEASUREMENTS
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; WOLF, PD (IOP Publishing, 1994-01-01)
In order to measure in vivo resistivity of tissues in the thorax, the possibility of combining anatomical data extracted from high-resolution images with multiple-electrode impedance measurements, a priori knowledge of the range of tissue resistivities, and a priori data on the instrumentation noise is assessed in this study. A statistically constrained minimum-mean-square error estimator (MIMSEE) that minimizes the effects of linearization errors and instrumentation noise is developed and compared to the c...
Use of the isolated problem approach for multi-compartment BEM models of electro-magnetic source imaging
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 2005-07-07)
The isolated problem approach (IPA) is a method used in the boundary element method (BEM) to overcome numerical inaccuracies caused by the high-conductivity difference in the skull and the brain tissues in the head. Hamalainen and Sarvas (1989 IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng. 36 165-71) described how the source terms can be updated to overcome these inaccuracies for a three-layer head model. Meijs et al (1989 IEEE Trans. Biomed. Eng. 36 103849) derived the integral equations for the general case where there are an ...
Experimental results for 2D magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) using magnetic flux density in one direction
Birgul, O; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Ider, YZ (IOP Publishing, 2003-11-07)
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) is an emerging imaging technique that reconstructs conductivity images using magnetic flux density measurements acquired employing MRI together with conventional EIT measurements. In this study, experimental MR-EIT images from phantoms with conducting and insulator objects are presented. The technique is implemented using the 0.15 T Middle East Technical University MRI system. The dc current method used in magnetic resonance current density imaging...
Sensitivity of EEG and MEG measurements to tissue conductivity
Gençer, Nevzat Güneri (IOP Publishing, 2004-03-07)
Monitoring the electrical activity inside the human brain using electrical and magnetic field measurements requires a mathematical head model. Using this model the potential distribution in the head and magnetic fields outside the head are computed for a given source distribution. This is called the forward problem of the electro-magnetic source imaging. Accurate representation of the source distribution requires a realistic geometry and an accurate conductivity model. Deviation from the actual head is one ...
