In this paper, the abilities of injected current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) and induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (ICMREIT) systems to differentiate a conductivity perturbation from an otherwise uniform conductivity distribution are compared. The sensitivity of MREIT measurements changes as a function of distance to the electrodes used for current injection. The sensitivity of ICMREIT measurements is related to the radial location, being a minimum for concentrically located small conductivity perturbations. The very low sensitivity of ICMREIT to conductivity perturbations at central locations seems to be the major drawback of the method compared with MREIT. When the diameter of a concentric and/or an eccentric circular conductivity inhomogeneity inside an otherwise homogeneous circular conductor is close to half of the diameter of the conductor region, the distinguishability of the perturbation by MREIT increases. MREIT is more sensitive to perturbations with lower conductivity with respect to background conductivity (resistive perturbations) than to conductive perturbations. In the case of ICMREIT, concentric inhomogeneities are equally distinguishable for conductive and resistive conductivity perturbations. Eccentric resistive inhomogeneities are more distinguishable then conductive inhomogeneities. Distinguishability increases with the size and number of conductivity perturbations.

ANALYTIC AND SEMIANALYTIC SOLUTIONS IN ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY .1. 2-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEMS PIDCOCK, MK; Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (IOP Publishing, 1995-05-01) We give analytic and semi-analytic solutions to a number of problems which are related to the image reconstruction problem of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in two dimensions.
Implementation and comparison of reconstruction algorithms for magnetic resonance-electric impedance tomography (mr-eit) Martin Lorca, Dario; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Biomedical Engineering (2007) In magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MR-EIT), crosssectional images of a conductivity distribution are reconstructed. When current is injected to a conductor, it generates a magnetic field, which can be measured by a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) scanner. MR-EIT reconstruction algorithms can be grouped into two: current density based reconstruction algorithms (Type-I) and magnetic flux density based reconstruction algorithms (Type-II). The aim of this study is to implement a series of r...
DETERMINATION OF OPTIMUM INJECTED CURRENT PATTERNS IN ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY KOKSAL, A; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (IOP Publishing, 1995-08-01) The problem of finding the optimum current under different constraints in electrical impedance tomography is cast into a non-linear optimization problem. Optimum currents are investigated for a two-dimensional cylindrical body with a concentric or an eccentric inhomogeneity under the constraints of constant dissipated power and constant total injected current. For a concentric inhomogeneity, it is shown that the opposite drive results in a better distinguishability than the cosine current pattern under the ...
ANALYTIC AND SEMIANALYTIC SOLUTIONS IN ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY .2. 3-DIMENSIONAL PROBLEMS PIDCOCK, MK; KUZUOGLU, M; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (IOP Publishing, 1995-05-01) We give analytic and semi-analytic solutions to a number of problems which are related to the image reconstruction problem of electrical impedance tomography (EIT) in three dimensions.
A FAST IMAGE-RECONSTRUCTION ALGORITHM FOR ELECTRICAL-IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY Kuzuoğlu, Mustafa; Leblebicioğlu, Mehmet Kemal (IOP Publishing, 1994-05-01) In this paper, we propose a fast algorithm for the reconstruction of the conductivity perturbation DELTAsigma about a known conductivity variation sigma0. The method is based on the minimization of a quadratic functional subject to linear constraints, where the existence of a unique solution is guaranteed. The algorithm developed for this purpose is iterative and each iteration is composed of a simple matrix multiplication. The validity of this method is illustrated with several examples.
