Study on Electrical Impedance Tomography System Based on Synchronous Measurement

Avoiding the disadvantages of traditional APT-pattern electrical impedance tomography(EIT)systems, such as asynchronous measurement,complex structure and debugging difficulty,a synchronous measuring EIT sys-tem is proposed and designed. This paper introduces an approach of realizing synchronous measuring in terms of hardware and software. The hardware platform consists of PXI-based integrated controller module,switch module, data acquisition module and lab-made current generator. Thishardware scheme simplifiesthe structure and improves the stability and accuracy of the system. A specified software kit is developed by LabVIEW to carry out data syn-chronous collecting and images reconstructing. An improved regularization algorithm is applied to reconstruct the in-ternal conductivity distribution. The comparative experiments are taken to illustrate the differences between syn-chronous and asynchronous measuring. The results show that the images are clearer and the artifacts are less. The average relative error of EIT images based on synchronous measuring is decreased by 48.99%. This paper provides a feasible and available method of synchronous measuring for EIT system,which is suitable for noninvasive imaging applications in numerous electrodes(electrode number≥16)fields.
