In this paper, EIT_TJU_ II system is developed including both the data collection system and image reconstruction algo- rithm. The testing approach of the system performance, including spatial resolution and sensitivity, is described through brine tank experiments. The images of the thorax physical model verify that the system can reconstruct the interior resistivity distribution. Finally, the lung ventilation functional monitoring in vivo is realized by EIT, and the visualized images indicate that the configuration and performance of EIT_TJU_ II system are feasible and EIT is a promising technique in clinical monitoring application.展开更多
文摘为了进一步提高电学层析成像(ECT)采集系统的测量精度,分析研究了ECT信号的完整性对测量结果的影响。针对测量电容信号微弱、值在p F级别的特点,设计出一种考虑信号完整性的ECT采集系统,其传感器占空比为81%。利用上述系统来分析信号完整性对测量结果的影响。实验结果表明:当正弦激励信号的峰峰值为18.7 V时,采集到的最大信号经过电流/电压(C/V)转换后的电压峰峰值为921 m V,与理论计算结果基本吻合;运用灵敏度矩阵系数算法,在PC上得出了清晰的ECT图像。表明该测量系统满足精度要求。
