Abstract

Currently, stomach functional detection has a great demand. It is a challenging job. The electrical impedance tomography study can be applied to explore a new method of gastric motility detection. In accordance with a color image of human sectional anatomy, the boundaries of the human body contours of the real body of stomach can be required. Simulate on dynamic electrical impedance tomography algorithm base on back-projection technique. Results show that the model can reflect different kinds of distribution of electrical conductivity. Basing on the back-projection techniques, the algorithm has a certain degree of precise location and identification. Electrical impedance tomography of gastric motility is feasible and reliable.
