Contactless Electrical Conductivity Imaging Simulations Using FDFD Method

2009-05-22
A 3-D Frequency Domain Finite Differences (FDFD) code is developed for electromagnetic simulations of low frequency contactless electrical conductivity imaging. Simulations on discrimination of malign breast tumor are conducted. Required sensitivity of the differential coil system - for detecting a volume of 216mm(3) tumor which is located at I cm under the skin- are investigated for different frequencies

Eroglu, Hasan H.; Eyuboglu, Murat (2014-08-30)
Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is a medical imaging method that provides images of electrical conductivity at low frequencies (0-1 kHz). In MREIT, electrical current is applied to the body via surface electrodes and corresponding magnetic flux density is measured by means of Magnetic Resonance (MR) phase imaging techniques. By utilizing the magnetic flux density measurements and surface potential measurements images of true conductivity distribution can be reconstructed. In order...
Anisotropic Conductivity Imaging with MREIT Using J-substitution and Hybrid J-substitution Algorithms
Degirmenci, E.; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat (2009-09-12)
Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MREIT) is a tomographical imaging technique which uses measurements of magnetic flux density induced by a probing current to reconstruct electrical conductivity distribution within a conductor object with magnetic resonance active nuclei. In this study, two novel anisotropic conductivity reconstruction algorithms for MREIT are proposed. The technique is evaluated with simulated measurements.
Current constrained voltage scaled reconstruction (CCVSR) algorithm for MR-EIT and its performance with different probing current patterns
Birgul, O; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Ider, YZ (IOP Publishing, 2003-03-07)
Conventional injected-current electrical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) techniques can be combined to reconstruct high resolution true conductivity images. The magnetic flux density distribution generated by the internal current density distribution is extracted from MR phase images. This information is used to form a fine detailed conductivity image using an Ohm's law based update equation. The reconstructed conductivity image is assumed to differ from the true image by a s...
