摘要：

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an upcoming and capable imaging modality used for clinical imaging. It is non-invasive, non-ionising and an inexpensive technique. This paper explains the designing and the analysis of a low-cost multifrequency electrical impedance-based system (MFEIBS) having a flexible mechanism of interfacing up to 32 electrodes, suitable for 1 kHz–2 MHz. Various indicators to check the performance of the EIT system were evaluated and presented here. The performance of VCO and VCCS was measured up to 2 MHz. SNR was measured with saline phantom and its mean value is 74 dB for the complete bandwidth. Different combinations of resistors and capacitors were used to find the accuracy of the system, and relative error was less than 0.55% for the entire range. CMRR of the system was calculated and it was found to be maximum 85 dB at 1 kHz frequency. A 16-electrode circular plastic phantom having a diameter of 18 cm was established and connected with a simple MFEIBS. Obtained surface potential was applied to the computer used for image formation using NI USB-6259, 16-bit, 1.25 MS/s M Series High-speed DAQ. Images reconstructed using the system presented in this paper was generated from a 16-electrode plastic phantom filled with NaCl up to 1.2 cm height. © 2018, © 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group.
