An analytic solution of the potential distribution on a 2D homogeneous disk for electrical impedance tomography under the complete electrode model is expressed via an infinite system of linear equations. For the shunt electrode model with two electrodes, our solution coincides with the previously derived solution expressed via elliptic integral (Pidcock et al 1995 Physiol. Meas. 16 77-90). The Dirichlet-to-Neumann map is derived for statistical estimation via nonlinear least squares. The solution is validated in phantom experiments and applied for breast contact impedance estimation in vivo. Statistical hypothesis testing is used to test whether the contact impedances are the same across electrodes or all equal zero. Our solution can be especially useful for a rapid real-time test for bad surface contact in clinical setting.
在完全电极模型下,二维均匀圆盘的电阻抗断层成像中的电位分布的解析解可以通过一个无限线性方程组表示。对于具有两个电极的并联电极模型,我们的解与以前通过椭圆积分得出的解(Pidcock 等人,1995 年,《生理学测量》,16,77-90)一致。我们还为通过非线性最小二乘法进行统计估计推导出了狄利克雷到诺伊曼映射。该解在体模实验中进行了验证,并应用于体内乳房接触阻抗估计。我们还使用统计假设检验来检验电极之间的接触阻抗是否相同或全部为零。我们的解在临床环境中对于快速实时测试不良表面接触特别有用。
