Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an imaging technique based on multiple bio impedance measurements to produce a map (image) of impedance or changes in impedance across a region. Its origins lay in geophysics where it is still used to today. This review highlights potential clinical applications of EIT. Beginning with a brief overview of the underlying principles behind the modality, it describes the background research leading towards the development of the application of EIT for monitoring pulmonary function, detecting and localising tumours and monitoring brain function.
电阻抗断层成像（EIT）是一种基于多个生物阻抗测量的成像技术，用于生成跨区域的阻抗或阻抗变化的图谱（图像）。它的起源可以追溯到地球物理学，至今仍在该领域使用。本文综述了 EIT 的潜在临床应用。本文首先简要概述了该技术背后的基本原理，然后描述了为开发 EIT 用于监测肺功能、检测和定位肿瘤以及监测脑功能的应用而进行的背景研究。
