  • Title: Magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT): simulation study of J-substitution algorithm.
    Author: Kwon O, Woo EJ, Yoon JR, Seo JK.
    Journal: IEEE Trans Biomed Eng; 2002 Feb; 49(2):160-7. PubMed ID: 12066883.
    Abstract:
    We developed a new image reconstruction algorithm for magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography (MREIT). MREIT is a new EIT imaging technique integrated into magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. Based on the assumption that internal current density distribution is obtained using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique, the new image reconstruction algorithm called J-substitution algorithm produces cross-sectional static images of resistivity (or conductivity) distributions. Computer simulations show that the spatial resolution of resistivity image is comparable to that of MRI. MREIT provides accurate high-resolution cross-sectional resistivity images making resistivity values of various human tissues available for many biomedical applications.
