An impedance model of tissue is useful for describing conductivity
reconstruction in tissue. Techniques for determining and mapping
conductivity distribution in tissue supply useful information of
anatomical and physiological status in various medical applications.
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) techniques are highly suitable for
analyzing conductivity distribution. Electrical characteristics of tissue
include resistive elements and capacitive elements. EIT techniques
involve passing a low frequency current through the body to monitor
various anatomical and physiological characteristics. The system can
interrogate at multiple frequencies to map impedance. Analytical
techniques involve forward and inverse solutions to boundary value
analysis to tissue characteristics.
