Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) of the lungs is a bedside-available, noninvasive, and radiation-free medical imaging modality which allows real-time imaging of electrical impedance (i.e., resistance to alternating currents) changes in the thorax [1]. During breathing, lung tissue, with its relatively high impedance oscillations, is the main contributor to these changes which has led to a multitude of applications in monitoring regional lung ventilation [2–5, for review see 6, 7].
