Radon Transformation is generally used to construct optical image (like CT image) from the projection data in biomedical imaging. In this paper, the concept of Radon Transformation is implemented to reconstruct Electrical Impedance Topographic Image (conductivity or resistivity distribution) of a circular subject. A parallel resistance model of a subject is proposed for Electrical Impedance Topography(EIT) or Magnetic Induction Tomography(MIT). A circular subject with embedded circular objects is segmented into equal width slices from different angles. For each angle, Conductance and Conductivity of each slice is calculated and stored in an array. A back projection method is used to generate a two-dimensional image from one-dimensional projections. As a back projection method, Inverse Radon Transformation is applied on the calculated conductance and conductivity to reconstruct two dimensional images. These images are compared to the target image. In the time of image reconstruction, different filters are used and these images are compared with each other and target image.
A Novel Approach for Measuring Electrical Impedance Tomography for Local Tiss...CSCJournals
This paper proposes a novel approach for measuring Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) of a living tissue in a human body. EIT is a non-invasive technique to measure two or three-dimensional impedance for medical diagnosis involving several diseases. To measure the impedance value electrodes are connected to the skin of the patient and an image of the conductivity or permittivity of living tissue is deduced from surface electrodes. The determination of local impedance parameters can be carried out using an equivalent circuit model. However, the estimation of inner tissue impedance distribution using impedance measurements on a global tissue from various directions is an inverse problem. Hence it is necessary to solve the inverse problem of calculating mathematical values for current and potential from conducting surfaces. This paper proposes a novel algorithm that can be successfully used for estimating parameters. The proposed novel hybrid model is a combination of an artificial intelligence based gradient free optimization technique and numerical integration. This ameliorates the achievement of spatial resolution of equivalent circuit model to the closest accuracy. We address the issue of initial parameter estimation and spatial resolution accuracy of an electrode structure by using an arrangement called “divided electrode” for measurement of bio-impedance in a cross section of a local tissue.
AN ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY SYSTEM FOR THYROID GLAND WITH A TINY ELECT...ijbesjournal
Electrical impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique based on measuring of the
electrical conductivity and capacitance of abnormal and normal human tissues. The present work aims to
develop an EIT imaging system for imaging thyroid gland. Patients with thyroid nodules were eligible for
the study. The study was conducted on two groups of participants: control group consists of 20 normal
female cases and experimental consists of 20 goiter female patients. The thyroid nodule location, size, and
type measured by ultrasound. Thyroid gland conductivity and permittivity were recorded using EIT. The
impedance measurement is done through the applying of two probes: one probe to the neck region
(scanning probe) and the rest region (reference probe) with electrolytic gel for each probe, then the system
software proceeds to reconstruct the image and calculate the electrical impedance of the thyroid gland on
a personal computer which acts as an output display and storage for case information. The thyroid
scanning probe has 64 electrodes embedded on a small space (30 mm diameter and 50 mm height) inside
of the probe. Multifrequency impedance measurements are typically made by applying an electric current
to a target mass by using of the scanning probe and measuring the developed voltage. The present EIT
system provides real- time visualization of the spatial distribution of the electrical properties of the thyroid
tissue. Images obtained from the bioimpedance (BI) were compared to images obtained from the
ultrasound imaging, results showed great similarity between the two diagnostic images. Tumor tissue has
higher resistance and capacitance value than that of normal thyroid gland.

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) calculates the internal conductivity distribution within a body using electrical contact measurements. The image reconstruction for EIT is an inverse problem, which is both non-linear and ill-posed. The traditional regularization method cannot avoid introducing negative values in the solution. The negativity of the solution produces artifacts in reconstructed images in presence of noise. A statistical method, namely, the expectation maximization (EM) method, is used to solve the inverse problem for EIT in this paper. The mathematical model of EIT is transformed to the non-negatively constrained likelihood minimization problem. The solution is obtained by the gradient projection-reduced Newton (GPRN) iteration method. This paper also discusses the strategies of choosing parameters. Simulation and experimental results indicate that the reconstructed images with higher quality can be obtained by the EM method, compared with the traditional Tikhonov and conjugate gradient (CG) methods, even with non-negative processing.
This document summarizes a study that demonstrates the use of equally-sloped tomography (EST) to improve electron tomography reconstruction. EST acquires projection images at constant slope increments, allowing the use of a pseudo-polar fast Fourier transform to directly relate the projection and volume grids. The study applied EST to reconstruct frozen keyhole limpet hemocyanin molecules and a bacterial cell from tilt-series data. EST reconstructions exhibited higher contrast, less noise, clearer boundaries, and reduced missing wedge effects compared to other reconstruction methods. Surprisingly, EST reconstructions using only two-thirds of the original projections appeared to have the same resolution as full reconstructions using other methods, suggesting EST can reduce radiation dose requirements or allow higher resolutions.

This document discusses using glass as a source of energy through a magnetic solar cell. It proposes focusing sunlight on glass using optical rectification to generate a direct current. However, analysis shows visible light does not have enough energy to excite the atoms in glass. The document then suggests using ultraviolet light instead, as it has higher energy levels that could potentially excite the glass atoms and enable direct current generation through optical rectification.

Interdigitated electrodes (IDEs) are commonly employed in biological cellular characterization techniques such as electrical cell-substrate impedance sensing (ECIS). Because of its simple production technique and low cost, interdigitated electrode sensor design is critical for practical impedance spectroscopy in the medical and pharmaceutical domains. The equivalent circuit of an IDE was modeled in this paper, it consisted of three primary components: double layer capacitance, Cdl, solution capacitance, CSol, and solution resistance, RSol. One of the challenging optimization challenges is the geometric optimization of the interdigital electrode structure of a sensor. We employ metaheuristic techniques to identify the best answer to problems of this kind. multi-objective optimization of the IDE using multi-objective particle swarm optimization (MOPSO) was achieved to maximize the sensitivity of the electrode and minimize the Cut-off frequency. The optimal geometrical parameters determined during optimization are used to build the electrical equivalent circuit. The amplitude and phase of the impedance versus frequency analysis were calculated using EC-LAB® software, and the corresponding conductivity was determined.

This document describes a study using microwave imaging to detect brain strokes. Researchers used an anatomically realistic numerical head phantom with an inserted simulated hemorrhagic stroke. Microwave signals were used to estimate backscattered signals from the phantom. The Born iterative method was then applied to the signals to reconstruct an image of the phantom and detect the inserted stroke based on differences in dielectric properties between healthy and stroke-affected tissues. The study aims to more accurately model attenuation and reflections in the head compared to previous works using simpler phantoms. Reconstructed images using 850 MHz signals clearly detected the inserted stroke region.

Miniaturized UWB elliptical patch antenna for skin cancer diagnosis imaging IJECEIAES
The biomedical imaging shows promising results in many applications such as protein characterization and cancer detection using non-ionizing radiation. Skin cancer is one of the most common types of cancer because it is exposed by sun rays during the day. Many techniques have been offered to detect the tumor in the early stage such as ultrasonic and MW imaging. However, most of these studies showed a large printing area with lower BW so as the low resolution. To overcome these drawbacks, a new low profile UWB elliptical patch antenna with high performance is designed on PTFE as a substrate. Then a layer of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) applies to improve the antenna radiation characteristics. The proposed antenna has a broad BW from 3.9 GHz to 30 GHz along with a resonance at 2.4 GHz. Furthermore, the antenna presents a maximum gain of 7.3 dB, maximum directivity of 7.78 dBi, the maximum radiation efficiency of 92%, and consistent, stable radiation pattern throughout the frequency band. Besides, the time-domain characteristics show that the antenna can be a suitable candidate for microwave imaging of skin cancer.

Resonance frequency analysis of laser optical fiber based on microcantileverIJECEIAES
The normal frequency of smart beams was originated utilizing FEM [Ansys and Comsol] code for first five modes by varying the position of actuator from the fixed end of the structure, and it has a suitable arrangement with analytically found the standard frequency. This paper includes learning a resonance frequency analysis of laser optical fiber based on microcantilever of designing magnetic actuator using Ansys and Comsol simulation. The design of optical fiber includes Nickel cantilever, two magnets and one coil that apply to force on the cantilever. After the current flows in the coil domain, the shape of microcantilever will be deformed. It will move to z- direction that depends on the force direction. Two methods including, Comsol Multiphysics, Ansys and analytical equations have been utilized to calculate the resonance frequency, current and force values. The simulation results include calculating the current (magnetic current density) and effects of the magnetic field of the coil on the cantilever (force calculation). Utilizing this method is to limit faults(errors) of optical fiber laser between transmitter and receiver system (detection system) for any time of cutting coil when the signal of a laser passes through the coil. In conculsions, resonant frequency (f_n) tuning using cantilivier presented in the resrach have larger variable range by using simulations. However,the adjusting of the system and changing the deminsions.Resolutions to this problematic contain tuning the modes of resonant frequency to produce by cantilivier with 2-magnets and coil when the signal pass from laser source. Based on these simulations and characterization results, the proposed assembly can be a good applicant for evolving a low price, high material platform for many biological, laser optical fiber, communication, machine learning, biosensors and biomedical applications.

This document describes a study comparing the performance of two eddy current sensor coil designs - a rectangular cross-section coil and a tilted cross-section coil - for non-destructive testing of conductive materials. Finite element modeling was used to simulate the magnetic flux density, eddy currents, and impedance changes detected by the coils in the presence of cracks in a test specimen. The simulations showed that the tilted coil design produced stronger magnetic fields near cracks, higher eddy current densities, and larger impedance changes compared to the rectangular coil. This indicates the tilted coil design may provide better sensitivity for crack detection in non-destructive testing applications.

CBCT is rapidly becoming the standard in 3D dental imaging. First generation CBCT was first used in 1982 (Mayo Clinic Biodynamics Research Laboratory) to perform angiography.
Hence, CBCT system was extended to other medical section, finding its best application in dentistry and maxilla-facial region study.
Although the CBCT principle has been in use for almost 2 decades, only recently—with the development of inexpensive x-ray tubes, high-quality detector systems and powerful personal computers—have affordable systems become commercially available.
CBCT is a compact, faster and safer version of conventional CT.
Using a coneshaped X-ray beam, the size of the scanner, radiation dosage and time needed for scanning are all dramatically reduced. CBCT scanners are systems that are able to provide 3D reconstructions that are based on the reformat of 2D images.
The scan is performed with a single 360 scan in which the x-ray source and a reciprocating area detector synchronously move around the patient’s head, which is stabilized by a head holder

The main stake is to detect a defective component or likely to become it during manufacture or inservice inspections, while improving control productivity. In this context, we develop a simulation tool of EC fastened structures testing, integrated to the ANSYS platform, aimed at conceiving testing methods, optimizing and qualifying it. The finite element method has been chosen, it is suitable for this type of problem. Various configurations have been considered for the inspection of a target with a defect in different thicknesses. Due to the impossibility to detect a defect located at a distance much greater than the skin depth δ. Indeed, the eddy currents amplitude are less than 95% of the maximum amplitude beyond a depth greater than 3 δ. We are interested in the detection of defects located at depths higher to three times the skin depth.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDA...ijistjournal
Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related to aspects of information security such as confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data origin authentication. Most cryptographic algorithms function more efficiently when implemented in hardware than in software running on single processor. However, systems that use hardware implementations have significant drawbacks: they are unable to respond to flaws discovered in the implemented algorithm or to changes in standards. As an alternative, it is possible to implement cryptographic algorithms in software running on multiple processors. However, most of the cryptographic algorithms like DES (Data Encryption Standard) or 3DES have some drawbacks when implemented in software: DES is no longer secure as computers get more powerful while 3DES is relatively sluggish in software. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is rapidly being adopted worldwide, provides a better combination of performance and enhanced network security than DES or 3DES by being computationally more efficient than these earlier standards. Furthermore, by supporting large key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits, AES offers higher security against brute-force attacks.
In this paper, AES has been implemented with single processor. Then the result has been compared with parallel implementations of AES with 2 varying different parameters such as key size, number of rounds and extended key size, and show how parallel implementation of the AES offers better performance yet flexible enough for cryptographic algorithms.

The document then covers key aspects of CT scanning including the components involved in data acquisition, the reconstruction process, and parameters such as slice thickness and radiation dose. It also describes advances in CT technology over generations from narrow single detector scans to current multi-detector scanners.
This document describes a study comparing the performance of two eddy current sensor coil designs - a rectangular cross-section coil and a tilted cross-section coil - for non-destructive testing of conductive materials. Finite element modeling was used to simulate the magnetic flux density, eddy currents, and impedance changes detected by the coils in the presence of cracks in a test specimen. The simulations showed that the tilted coil design produced stronger magnetic fields near cracks, higher eddy current densities, and larger impedance changes compared to the rectangular coil. This indicates the tilted coil design may provide better sensitivity for crack detection in non-destructive testing applications.

CBCT is rapidly becoming the standard in 3D dental imaging. First generation CBCT was first used in 1982 (Mayo Clinic Biodynamics Research Laboratory) to perform angiography.
Hence, CBCT system was extended to other medical section, finding its best application in dentistry and maxilla-facial region study.
Although the CBCT principle has been in use for almost 2 decades, only recently—with the development of inexpensive x-ray tubes, high-quality detector systems and powerful personal computers—have affordable systems become commercially available.
CBCT is a compact, faster and safer version of conventional CT.
Using a coneshaped X-ray beam, the size of the scanner, radiation dosage and time needed for scanning are all dramatically reduced. CBCT scanners are systems that are able to provide 3D reconstructions that are based on the reformat of 2D images.
The scan is performed with a single 360 scan in which the x-ray source and a reciprocating area detector synchronously move around the patient’s head, which is stabilized by a head holder

The main stake is to detect a defective component or likely to become it during manufacture or inservice inspections, while improving control productivity. In this context, we develop a simulation tool of EC fastened structures testing, integrated to the ANSYS platform, aimed at conceiving testing methods, optimizing and qualifying it. The finite element method has been chosen, it is suitable for this type of problem. Various configurations have been considered for the inspection of a target with a defect in different thicknesses. Due to the impossibility to detect a defect located at a distance much greater than the skin depth δ. Indeed, the eddy currents amplitude are less than 95% of the maximum amplitude beyond a depth greater than 3 δ. We are interested in the detection of defects located at depths higher to three times the skin depth.

PERFORMANCE ANALYSIS OF PARALLEL IMPLEMENTATION OF ADVANCED ENCRYPTION STANDA...ijistjournal
Cryptography is the study of mathematical techniques related to aspects of information security such as confidentiality, data integrity, entity authentication, and data origin authentication. Most cryptographic algorithms function more efficiently when implemented in hardware than in software running on single processor. However, systems that use hardware implementations have significant drawbacks: they are unable to respond to flaws discovered in the implemented algorithm or to changes in standards. As an alternative, it is possible to implement cryptographic algorithms in software running on multiple processors. However, most of the cryptographic algorithms like DES (Data Encryption Standard) or 3DES have some drawbacks when implemented in software: DES is no longer secure as computers get more powerful while 3DES is relatively sluggish in software. AES (Advanced Encryption Standard), which is rapidly being adopted worldwide, provides a better combination of performance and enhanced network security than DES or 3DES by being computationally more efficient than these earlier standards. Furthermore, by supporting large key sizes of 128, 192, and 256 bits, AES offers higher security against brute-force attacks.
In this paper, AES has been implemented with single processor. Then the result has been compared with parallel implementations of AES with 2 varying different parameters such as key size, number of rounds and extended key size, and show how parallel implementation of the AES offers better performance yet flexible enough for cryptographic algorithms.

INFORMATION THEORY BASED ANALYSIS FOR UNDERSTANDING THE REGULATION OF HLA GEN...ijistjournal
Considering information entropy (IE), HLA surface expression (SE) regulation phenomenon is considered as information propagation channel with an amount of distortion. HLA gene SE is considered as sink regulated by the inducible transcription factors (TFs) (source). Previous work with a certain number of bin size, IEs for source and receiver is computed and computation of mutual information characterizes the dependencies of HLA gene SE on some certain TFs in different cells types of hematopoietic system under the condition of leukemia. Though in recent time information theory is utilized for different biological knowledge generation and different rules are available in those specific domains of biomedical areas; however, no such attempt is made regarding gene expression regulation, hence no such rule is available. In this work, IE calculation with varying bin size considering the number of bins is approximately half of the sample size of an attribute also confirms the previous inferences.

SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION AND MODELING FOR INTERACTING AND NON-INTERACTING TANK S...ijistjournal
System identification from the experimental data plays a vital role for model based controller design. Derivation of process model from first principles is often difficult due to its complexity. The first stage in the development of any control and monitoring system is the identification and modeling of the system. Each model is developed within the context of a specific control problem. Thus, the need for a general system identification framework is warranted. The proposed framework should be able to adapt and emphasize different properties based on the control objective and the nature of the behavior of the system. Therefore, system identification has been a valuable tool in identifying the model of the system based on the input and output data for the design of the controller. The present work is concerned with the identification of transfer function models using statistical model identification, process reaction curve method, ARX model, genetic algorithm and modeling using neural network and fuzzy logic for interacting and non interacting tank process. The identification technique and modeling used is prone to parameter change & disturbance. The proposed methods are used for identifying the mathematical model and intelligent model of interacting and non interacting process from the real time experimental data.

BER Performance of MPSK and MQAM in 2x2 Almouti MIMO Systemsijistjournal
Almouti published the error performance of the 2x2 space-time transmit diversity scheme using BPSK. One of the key techniques employed for correcting such errors is the Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) because of its efficiency in power and bandwidth.. In this paper we explore the error performance of the 2x2 MIMO system using the Almouti space-time codes for higher order PSK and M-ary QAM. MATLAB was used to simulate the system; assuming slow fading Rayleigh channel and additive white Gaussian noise. The simulated performance curves were compared and evaluated with theoretical curves obtained using BER tool on the MATLAB by setting parameters for random generators. The results shows that the technique used do find a place in correcting error rates of QAM system of higher modulation schemes. The model can equally be used not only for the criteria of adaptive modulation but for a platform to design other modulation systems as well.

BRAIN TUMOR MRIIMAGE CLASSIFICATION WITH FEATURE SELECTION AND EXTRACTION USI...ijistjournal
Feature extraction is a method of capturing visual content of an image. The feature extraction is the process to represent raw image in its reduced form to facilitate decision making such as pattern classification. We have tried to address the problem of classification MRI brain images by creating a robust and more accurate classifier which can act as an expert assistant to medical practitioners. The objective of this paper is to present a novel method of feature selection and extraction. This approach combines the Intensity, Texture, shape based features and classifies the tumor as white matter, Gray matter, CSF, abnormal and normal area. The experiment is performed on 140 tumor contained brain MR images from the Internet Brain Segmentation Repository. The proposed technique has been carried out over a larger database as compare to any previous work and is more robust and effective. PCA and Linear Discriminant Analysis (LDA) were applied on the training sets. The Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier served as a comparison of nonlinear techniques Vs linear ones. PCA and LDA methods are used to reduce the number of features used. The feature selection using the proposed technique is more beneficial as it analyses the data according to grouping class variable and gives reduced feature set with high classification accuracy.

A MEDIAN BASED DIRECTIONAL CASCADED WITH MASK FILTER FOR REMOVAL OF RVINijistjournal
In this paper A Median Based Directional Cascaded with Mask (MBDCM) filter has been proposed, which is based on three different sized cascaded filtering windows. The differences between the current pixel and its neighbors aligned with four main directions are considered for impulse detection. A direction index is used for each edge aligned with a given direction. Minimum of these four direction indexes is used for impulse detection under each masking window. Depending on the minimum direction indexes among these three windows new value to substitute the noisy pixel is calculated. Extensive simulations showed that the MBDCM filter provides good performances of suppressing impulses from both gray level and colored benchmarked images corrupted with low noise level as well as for highly dense impulses. MBDCM filter gives better results than MDWCMM filter in suppressing impulses from highly corrupted digital images.
DECEPTION AND RACISM IN THE TUSKEGEE SYPHILIS STUDYijistjournal
During the twentieth century (1932-1972), white physicians representing the United States government
conducted a human experiment known as the Tuskegee Syphilis Study on black syphilis patients in Macon
County, Alabama. The creators of the study, who supported the idea of black inferiority and the concept
that black people’s bodies functioned differently from white people’s, observed the effects of a disease
called syphilis on untreated black patients in order to collect data for further research on syphilis. Black
individuals involved with the study believed that they were receiving treatment, although in truth,
treatments for syphilis were purposely held back from them. Not only this, but fluids from their bodies, such
as blood and spinal fluid, were extracted to serve as research material without their awareness of the
purpose of the collection. The physicians justified their approach by positioning it as mere observation,
asserting that they were not actively intervening with the patients participating in the experiment. However,
despite their claims of passivity, these white physicians engaged in various morally improper actions,
including deceit, which ultimately resulted in the deaths of numerous black patients who might have had a
chance at survival.

Comparative analysis between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquapon...bijceesjournal
The aquaponic system of planting is a method that does not require soil usage. It is a method that only needs water, fish, lava rocks (a substitute for soil), and plants. Aquaponic systems are sustainable and environmentally friendly. Its use not only helps to plant in small spaces but also helps reduce artificial chemical use and minimizes excess water use, as aquaponics consumes 90% less water than soil-based gardening. The study applied a descriptive and experimental design to assess and compare conventional and reconstructed aquaponic methods for reproducing tomatoes. The researchers created an observation checklist to determine the significant factors of the study. The study aims to determine the significant difference between traditional aquaponics and reconstructed aquaponics systems propagating tomatoes in terms of height, weight, girth, and number of fruits. The reconstructed aquaponics system’s higher growth yield results in a much more nourished crop than the traditional aquaponics system. It is superior in its number of fruits, height, weight, and girth measurement. Moreover, the reconstructed aquaponics system is proven to eliminate all the hindrances present in the traditional aquaponics system, which are overcrowding of fish, algae growth, pest problems, contaminated water, and dead fish.
Advanced control scheme of doubly fed induction generator for wind turbine us...IJECEIAES
This paper describes a speed control device for generating electrical energy on an electricity network based on the doubly fed induction generator (DFIG) used for wind power conversion systems. At first, a double-fed induction generator model was constructed. A control law is formulated to govern the flow of energy between the stator of a DFIG and the energy network using three types of controllers: proportional integral (PI), sliding mode controller (SMC) and second order sliding mode controller (SOSMC). Their different results in terms of power reference tracking, reaction to unexpected speed fluctuations, sensitivity to perturbations, and resilience against machine parameter alterations are compared. MATLAB/Simulink was used to conduct the simulations for the preceding study. Multiple simulations have shown very satisfying results, and the investigations demonstrate the efficacy and power-enhancing capabilities of the suggested control system.

ABSTRACT
Radon Transformation is generally used to construct optical image (like CT image) from the projection
data in biomedical imaging. In this paper, the concept of Radon Transformation is implemented to
reconstruct Electrical Impedance Topographic Image (conductivity or resistivity distribution) of a circular
subject. A parallel resistance model of a subject is proposed for Electrical Impedance Topography(EIT) or
Magnetic Induction Tomography(MIT). A circular subject with embedded circular objects is segmented
into equal width slices from different angles. For each angle, Conductance and Conductivity of each slice
is calculated and stored in an array. A back projection method is used to generate a two-dimensional
image from one-dimensional projections. As a back projection method, Inverse Radon Transformation is
applied on the calculated conductance and conductivity to reconstruct two dimensional images. These
images are compared to the target image. In the time of image reconstruction, different filters are used and
these images are compared with each other and target image.

1. INTRODUCTION
Medical imaging is the technique used to create images of the human body (or parts and function
thereof) for clinical purposes (medical procedures seeking to reveal, diagnose or examine disease)
or medical science (including the study of normal anatomy and physiology). Image of internal
structure of a body is definitely a useful tool for diagnosis, treatment and biomedical research.
Soon after the discovery of X-rays, their importance as a tool for biomedical diagnosis was
recognized and X-ray machine became the first widely used electrical instrument in medicine.
However, X-ray causes tissue damage in the body and cannot be used for long time monitoring
[1]. In the past three decades, we have noticed tremendous developments in this field; new
techniques include X-ray computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI),
ultrasound imaging, positron emission tomography (PET), and so on. Each of these imaging
modalities provides a particular functionality or certain unique features that cannot be replaced by
2. International Journal of Information Sciences and Techniques (IJIST) Vol.2, No.5, September 2012
12
the other modalities. Commonly used biomedical imaging techniques are X-ray computed
tomography (CT) imaging and MRI. X-ray CT imaging has a good resolution; however, it may
damage the tissue. MRI also has a good resolution and it does not cause any tissue damage. The
instrument, however, is very expensive and too large in size to be used in normal patients’
bedrooms in a hospital. The advantages of ultrasound imaging include bedside availability and
the relative ease of performing repeated examinations. Imaging is real-time and free of harmful
radiation. There are no documented side effects and discomfort is minimal [2].The disadvantages
of ultrasonography are primarily related to the fact that it is heavily operator-dependent.
Retrospective review of images provides only limited quality control. There is no scout scan to
give a global picture for orientation [2].
Electric impedance imaging is a method of reconstructing the internal impedance distribution of a
human body based on the measurements from the outside. A very low-level current requirement
gives it the advantage of having no biological hazard and allows long-term monitoring for the
intensive care of patients. Therefore, this method is expected to be a very efficient and useful
method in the biomedical field [1].
Much research has been done and significant efforts are still being made toward the realization of
electrical imaging. One common method known as electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is
promising. But it involves the challenge of attaching a large number of electrodes to the body
surface [3]–[5]. Another method involving magnetic excitation with coils and measurements of
surface potential with electrodes has been proposed [6],[7]. In this method, however, the
measurement sensitivity at the centre region is much less than that obtained in the peripheral
regions. In the last decade, many studies have reported on a similar method known as magnetic
induction tomography (MIT) [8]–[16]. In MIT, a magnetic field is applied from an array of
excitation coils to induce eddy currents in the body, and the magnetic field from these currents is
then detected using a separate set of sensing coils. The great advantage of MIT in contrast to EIT
is the contactless operation, so that the positioning of the electrodes and the ill-defined electrode–
skin interface can be avoided [9]. However, the sensitivity of this method is not uniform over the
measurement area [9]. Another difficulty encountered with this method is that the excitation field
also induces a signal in the sensing coil, and the signal due to the eddy current in the material is
normally much smaller in comparison [10]. In order to overcome this difficulty, various methods
have been devised [9],[11]. However, there still remain some significant drawbacks [11]. For
example, using a planar gradiometer arrangement, a ghost object can be recognized in the
reconstructed image [15]. In some cases, to reconstruct the image from measurement data, a
weighted back projection method has been proposed [16]. Unfortunately, the weights have been
calculated only in the case of conducting perturbations in empty space, which is quite different
from anatomical structures [12]. In this research work a back projection method based on Inverse
Radon Transformation is proposed to reconstruct 2D image of conductivity or resistivity
distribution. A circular subject with embedded circular objects is taken and segmented into equal
width slices from different angles. For each angle, Conductance and Conductivity of each slice is
calculated and stored in an array. Inverse Radon Transformation is used to generate a two-
dimensional image (Reconstructed image) from one-dimensional projections (conductivity or
resistivity distribution).This Reconstructed image is compared to the target image. Different types
of filters with different interpolations are used in image reconstruction process and these images
are compared with each other and target image.

of circular subject and the embedded perturbation are known. To calculate projection of
conductivity distribution at a particular angle, the subject is sliced into number of segments

value. In the similar way, the circular subject is segmented from different angles .For each angle,
Conductivities and Conductance’s of all slices are calculated. Thus we find the projection values
of conductances and conductivities of the subject for each angle. For example, if the circular
subject is divided into N slices. The circular subject is rotated by Øi angle (Øi=
1,2,3,4,.....180).Then total number of rotation is Ri =180/Øi. For each rotational angle Qc(Qc =
Qi,Qi+Qi,......180) Conductance and Conductivity of N slices are calculated. Calculated
Conductance is Conductanc[N][Ri] & Conductivity is Conductivity[N][Ri].
To calculate conductivity and conductance , each slice average length is calculated.
Lengths of chords are calculated using the following formula
Chord= 2* (where i = Radius-wi, w is the wide of each slice wi=0,w,2w,3w..
Radious,0,-w,-2w,-3w.....-Radious)
Each slice has two chords. Using these two chords, average length is calculated.
Using following equations, conductance and average conductivity are calculated.
We know conductance or σ = ..........................................................................................(1)
Conductivity or Average conductivity =
A = average length of slice * W
l is the depth of the circular subject.
is the resistivity of object or subject.

If the axes of circular subject( centre fixed ) is rotated about an angle Øi, then centre of the
perturbation is calculated for the new axes using following equations
X = x1*cos Qc +y1*sin Qc; .............................................................................................(2)
Y = -x1*sin Qc + y1*cos Qc; .............................................................................................(3)
Where (x1,y1) is the perturbation centre for old axes and (X,Y) is the perturbation centre of that
perturbation for new axes.
In each slice, one or more embedded perturbations segments can have or not.
So general equation for calculating conductance for each slice is
Conductance = + + +…………..+ ........................................(4)
Where
Lcbcesc1= chord1 – (C1+C3+…….+Cn-1) ( chord1 is one slice upper chord of the subject and
c1,c3...cn-1 are chords of embedded perturbations circle1,circle2,........ circle_n . The Values of
c1,c3...cn-1 can be zero or can have value depending on whether embedded perturbations chords
are included with chord1 or not included with chord1)
Lcbcesc2= chord2 – (C2+C4+………+Cn) ( chord2 is one slice another chord of the subject and
c2,c4...cn are chords of embedded perturbations circle1,circle2,........ circle_n . The Values of
c2,c4...cn can be zero or can have value depending on whether embedded perturbations chords
are included with chord1 or not included with chord2)
Lnc = (average length of one slice of the subject without the segments
of embedded circular perturbations)
Lnc1 = (average length of one slice of embedded circle1)
Lnc2 = (average length of one slice of embedded circle2)
……………..
Lncn= (average length of one slice of embedded circle_n)
are the resistivities of subject, embedded circular perturbations circle1,
circle2,....circle_n respectively.
Conductanc[N][Ri] are One-dimensional projections data taken from different angles using
conductance of each slice and Conductivity[N][Ri] are One-dimensional projections data taken
from different angles using conductance of each slice.

To get f(x,y) back, from equation (5) is known as inverse Radon transform. Figure 2.b shows the
formation of image from the projections taken at angles 0°, 45°, and 90° that is shown in Figure
2.a.
Using Inverse Radon transformation on conductivity[N][Ri], coductance[N][Ri] images are
reconstructed. Hann,Sheep-Logan, Hamming,cosine and Ram-Lak filters with linear, spline and
nearest interpolations are used to produce better images. These images are compared to the target
image that is considered as a base image.

4. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION
In this thesis work, we have proposed a parallel resistance model for Electrical Impedance
Imaging. With some simulation study, we have shown that this model can be used to reconstruct
internal resistivity or conductivity or conductance distribution images. There are some differences
in target image and reconstructed image. Different types of filters with different interpolations are
used in image reconstruction process. But in the reconstructed images, no significant difference is
observed. If the rotational angle is small then produced images are better. From the reconstructed
images with different condition we can conclude that this model can be used for Electrical
Impedance Tomography (EIT) or Magnetic Induction Tomography(MIT).
