10.7. Imaging of Lungs
In Section 6.6 a general description of EIT was given. In this section, we will give an example of an innovation that ended up with a bioimpedance imaging solution that filled a vacuum that neither magnetic resonance imaging nor computed tomography imaging could meet. It illustrates many of the characteristic properties of an innovation process: it must be based upon a new idea for solving a problem in medical imaging. The problem and the solution must be of a quality that can compete with already known methods. The new tomographic instrumentation is with an imaging resolution that is much worse than that of a microscope, X-ray generator, computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging, or ultrasound image. Even so it can ...
