Determining optimum current injection pattern is of interest in magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography (MREIT), since it helps in detecting smaller inhomogeneities within the body when total injected current into the body is limited. Based on this fact, for 2-D cylindrical body with concentric and cylindrical inhomogeneity, current injection optimization problem is analytically formulated, based on distinguishability definition for MREIT. The exterior penalty method is used to solve the optimization problem. In the second step, the same problem is considered for eccentric and cylindrical inhomogeneity and the best current injection pattern is obtained.

Distinguishability for Magnetic Resonance-Electric Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT)
Altunel, H.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; KÖKSAL, ADNAN (2006-09-01)
In magnetic resonance-electrical impedance tomography, magnetic flux density due to current injection is the measured quantity. Different conductivity distributions create different magnetic flux density distributions. Distinguishability for MR-EIT is defined using this fact. The definition is general and valid for 2D as well as 3D structures of any shape. It is not always possible to find an analytic expression for distinguishability. However, when a 2D cylindrical body with concentric inhomogeneity is con...

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...

Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Altunel, Haluk (2008-11-27)
In this study, an image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) is proposed to achieve maximum benefit of optimum current injection patterns. By doing so, considerable reduction in probing current amplitude could be possible. In the proposed algorithm, field of view (FOV) is divided into a number of segments. Image of each segment is reconstructed separately, based on measurements obtained using the best (optimum) current patterns, which maximize distinguishab...

Eroğlu, Hasan Hüseyin; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
In this thesis, it is aimed to investigate induced current magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (ICMREIT) starting from modeling and analysis to experimental validation. Forward and inverse problems of ICMREIT are formulated. A magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) pulse sequence is proposed for the realization of ICMREIT using the slice selection (z) gradient coil of MRI scanners. Considering the proposed MRI pulse sequence, relationship between the low frequency (LF) MR phase and the secondary ma...
