Image Reconstruction Based on an Inhomogeneous Skull Model for Electrical Impedance Tomography

Objective To study the effects of the inhomogeneous skull on electrical impedance tomography(EIT)of human brain in order to improve the quality of reconstructed image.Methods A two-dimensional(2-D)dynamic EIT algorithm based on the inhomogeneous skull model(ISM)was suggested and applied to reconstruct image of cerebral hemorrhage.According to the evaluating criteria of the image quality suggested in this paper,the reconstructed image was compared with those based on the homogeneous circle model(HCM)and the four-concentric circle model(FCCM).Results Both the correlation and the localization accuracy of the reconstructed image were improved significantly when ISM was used.Conclusion To incorporate the skull inhomogeneity into image reconstruction is an effective way to improve the image quality of brain EIT.
