ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY EMPLOYING ADDITIONAL SOURCES OF INFORMATION

摘要

Electrical impedance tomography employing additional sources of information using, in the tomography signal processing and image generating unit, information received by auxiliary equipments concerning the monitoring of one or more parameters related to the physiological activity of a patient comprising, among others, electrical signals generated by cardiac and cerebral activity, electrical impedance variations derived from mechanical ventilation and blood oxygenation level, etc.
