Combing signal processing methods with algorithm priori information to produce synergetic improvements on continuous imaging of brain electrical impedance tomography

Abstract Dynamic electrical impedance tomography (EIT) promises to be a valuable technique for monitoring the development of brain injury. But in practical long-term monitoring, noise and interferences may cause insufficient image quality. To help unveil intracranial conductivity changes, signal pro...
