Reducing acquisition time in magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) improves signal to noise ratio and temporal resolution of measured conductivity data. On the other hand, the reconstruction accuracy of MREIT can be improved by acquiring multiple data using different current injection patterns, which in turn increases the total scan time. In this study, a novel pulse sequence is proposed to reduce the scan time in MREIT by injecting two current patterns in a single acquisition. This method is experimentally realized using a physical phantom, and its feasibility is evaluated.

Equipotential projection based magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (mr-eit) for high resolution conductivity imaging
Özdemir, Mahir Sinan; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2003)
In this study, a direct reconstruction algorithm for Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography (MR-EIT) is proposed and experimentally implemented for high resolution true conductivity imaging. In MR-EIT, elec trical impedance tomography (EIT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are combined together. Current density measurements are obtained making use of Magnetic Resonance Current Density Imaging (MR-CDI) techniques and peripheral potential measurements are determined using conventional EIT tech...
Triple stub circuit topology as simultaneous insertion phase, amplitude and impedance control circuit for phased array applications
Unlu, M.; Demir, Şimşek; Akın, Tayfun (Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2012-10-23)
This study shows that the well-known triple stub circuit topology can also be used for controlling the insertion phase and amplitude of a given signal simultaneously, as well as preserving its impedance transformation ability. The triple stub circuit topology, which is nothing but an extension of the conventional double stub loaded-line phase shifter, results in one more degree of freedom to its solution when it is solved for its insertion phase. This additional degree of freedom not only brings the impedan...

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
Induced Current Magnetic Resonance Electrical Impedance Tomography with z-Gradient Coil
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...
Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (DT-MREIT) and its expansion to multi-physics multi-contrast magnetic resonance imaging
Sadighi, Mehdi; Eyüboğlu, Behçet Murat; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2021-6-01)
Diffusion tensor magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (DT-MREIT) is one of the emerging imaging modalities to obtain low-frequency anisotropic conductivity distribution employing diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) and magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT) techniques. DT-MREIT is based on the linear relationship between the conductivity and water self-diffusion tensors(C and D) in a porous medium. On the other hand, knowledge of the current density (J) distribution is used in m...
