Data processing techniques for serial EIT spectroscopy images: a review of some preliminary results

Physiol Meas. 1995 Aug;16(3 Suppl A):A129-42. doi: 10.1088/0967-3334/16/3a/013.

Abstract

Mutlifrequency EIT imaging should allow specific organs within the body to be identified by their impedance spectrum, and the use of parametric imaging should lead to a much greater freedom from movement artefacts. This will make EIT more attractive as a monitoring technique, but the data rate will require automated processing of the images. The application of dynamic regions of interest, generated on a frame by frame basis, is described, with examples from the imaging of neonatal lungs and adult stomach. The lung can be objectively identified on a single frame from the fRSC, SC and RC images, but the stomach could only be identified on the dynamic images.
