Abstract | Morphological prior information incorporated with the discrete cosine transformation (DCT) based electrical impedance tomography (EIT) algorithm can improve the interpretability of EIT reconstructions in clinical applications. However, an outdated structural prior can yield a misleading reconstruction compromising the accuracy of the clinical diagnosis and the appropriate treatment decision. In this contribution, we propose a redistribution index scaled between 0 and 1 to quantify the possible error in a DCT-based EIT reconstruction influenced by structural prior information. Two simulation models of different tissue atelectasis and collapsed ratios were investigated. Outdated and updated structural prior information were applied to obtain different EIT reconstructions using this simulated data, with which the redistribution index was calculated and compared. When the difference between prior and reality (the redistribution index) became larger and exceeded a threshold, this was considered as an indicator of an outdated prior information. The evaluation result shows the potential of the redistribution index to detect outdated prior information in a DCT-based EIT algorithm. |
