title: Real-time 3D electrical impedance imaging for ventilation monitoring of the lung: Pilot study.
abstract: We report an Electrical Impedance Tomography device capable of detecting gravity-induced regional ventilation changes in real-time without averaging or using a contrast medium. Changes in lung ventilation are demonstrated in right and left lateral decubitus position and compared to those seen in an upright and supine normal subject.
