Legacy Theses & Dissertations (2009 - 2024)
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a simple, non-invasive and ionizing radiation-free imaging technology with potential application to medical diagnostics such as lung function, cardiac output, breast cancer, and cysts. Of the above imaging techniques, lung imaging has developed into the prime application for EIT. Because it presents an ill-posed inverse problem, EIT requires high-precision instrumentation and this thesis studies a new method for obtaining a high-precision current source and voltmeter for EIT. This thesis describes various simulation studies performed on the voltage-controlled current source (VCCS). The output impedance (Zo) of various types of Howland current source (HCS) including the basic …
