A distinguishability measure is defined for magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT) based on magnetic flux density measurements. This general definition is valid for 2D and 3D structures of any shape. As a specific case, a 2D cylindrical body with concentric inhomogeneity is considered and a bound of the distinguishability is analytically formulated. Distinguishabilities obtained with potential and magnetic flux density measurements are compared.

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...
Distinguishability analysis of an induced current EIT system using discrete coils
Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Demirbilek, M (IOP Publishing, 2000-07-01)
The distinguishability of a discrete coil induced current electrical impedance tomography system is analysed. The solution methodology of the forward problem of this system is explained. An optimization procedure using this forward problem solution is developed to find optimum currents that maximize the distinguishability. For the concentric inhomogeneity problem, it is shown that the coil currents can be optimized to focus the current density in any desired location, in the field of view. Optimum coil curr...
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...
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 ...
Anisotropic conductivity imaging with MREIT using equipotential projection algorithm
DEĞİRMENCİ, EVREN; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 2007-12-21)
Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) combines magnetic flux or current density measurements obtained by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and surface potential measurements to reconstruct images of true conductivity with high spatial resolution. Most of the biological tissues have anisotropic conductivity; therefore, anisotropy should be taken into account in conductivity image reconstruction. Almost all of the MREIT reconstruction algorithms proposed to date assume isotropic conductivi...
