7.15 Four layer tank used <strong>for</strong> <strong>3D</strong> reconstructions. Red patches are the 32 electrodes<br />

in 2 layers. Phantom contrast are the blue elements which are only in the<br />

second layer (between z=1 and z=2). Simulated water depth is full vertical<br />

extent <strong>of</strong> tank. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 114<br />

A.1 Finite Element Mesh <strong>for</strong> generating simulated data. σ0 is the vector containing<br />

the conductivity <strong>of</strong> each element, σL is a scalar value <strong>of</strong> the conductivity<br />

<strong>of</strong> elements <strong>of</strong> the lung tissue. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 120<br />

A.2 Meshes used <strong>for</strong> non-homogenous Jacobian construction. Dark elements are<br />

the inhomogenous regions <strong>of</strong> the matched algorithm. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 122<br />

A.3 EIT difference image amplitude due to a small tidal volume as a function<br />

<strong>of</strong> baseline lung conductivity (σL) (mS/m). <strong>Image</strong> amplitude is normalized<br />

to a value <strong>of</strong> 1.0 when lung conductivity matches expiration (120 mS/m).<br />

Black curve: images reconstructed with homogeneous background, Blue curve:<br />

images reconstructed with lung region conductivity <strong>of</strong> 60 mS/m, Red curve:<br />

images reconstructed with lung region conductivity equal to the simulation<br />

model value (on horizontal axis). . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 123<br />
