Title | Models and image: reconstruction in electrical impedance tomography of human brain function |
Authors | Liston, A. |
Abstract | Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) of brain function has the potential to provide a rapid portable bedside neuroimaging device. Recently, our group published the first ever EIT images of evoked activity recorded with scalp electrodes. While the raw data showed encouraging, reproducible changes of a few per cent, the images were noisy. The poor image quality was due, in part, to the use of a simplified reconstruction algorithm which modelled the head as a homogeneous sphere. The purpose of this work has been to develop new algorithms in which the model incorporates extracerebral layers and realistic geometry, and to assess their effect on image quality. |
