ABSTRACT

With contributions from leading international researchers, this second edition of Electrical Impedance Tomography: Methods, History and Applications has been fully updated throughout and contains new developments in the field, including sections on image interpretation and image reconstruction. Providing a thorough review of the progress of EIT, the present state of knowledge, and a look at future advances and applications, this accessible reference will be invaluable for mathematicians, physicists dealing with bioimpedance, electronic engineers involved in developing and extending its applications, and clinicians wishing to take advantage of this powerful imaging method.

Key Features:

  • Fully updated throughout, with new sections on image interpretation and image reconstruction
  • Overview of the current state of experimental and clinical use of EIT as well as active research developments
  • Overview of related research in geophysics, industrial process tomography, magnetic-resonance and magnetic-induction impedance imaging
