Electrical Impedance Tomography,

Electrical impedance measurements already contribute to medical care in the measurement of depth of ventilation and the measurement of cardiac activity. This volume explores the pioneering research in electrical impedance tomography techniques, and their future place in clinical practice.

The first book devoted to the new medical imaging techniques of electrical impedance tomography, which works by forming imaging from conductivity distributions in the human body. The instrumentation required to obtain the data and the computer algorithms available to reconstruct images are the major topics covered by the book. Many clinical applications are also discussed.
Written by researchers at the University of Wisconson-Madison, one of the foremost centres in the field, Electrical Impedance Tomography is an essential reference for workers in electrical impedance imaging and all medical physicists seeking to expand their use and knowledge of alternative imaging methods.
