Abstract

It is found that Electrical Impedance Tomography(EIT) is promising in its application to the clinical image monitoring and that the Back-Projection algorithm of EIT can meet the preliminary requirements of the real-time monitoring through our work. In order to improve the computed speed and the imaged resolution, different ways of completing the algorithm were tried in this paper. Moreover, it is shown that the impedance change due to physiological saline with the concentration of not more than 50 milliliter 0.9% can be detected and imaged by our system. The above result is helpful for our further work of image monitoring by EIT.
