ABSTRACT
The dynamics of blood flow within the circulatory system are of key clinical interest. The relevant mechanical parameters are pressures, flows and volumes, and, traditionally, require invasive or inconvenient measurements procedures. Due to its high temporal resolution and its ability to detect impedance changes not only due to ventilation but also to blood volume changes, EIT offers the opportunity for non-invasive real time measurements of various hemodynamic parameters. The reader is also recommended reviews of this area [ 615 , 778 ].
