Method of lungs regional ventilation function assessment on the basis of continuous lung monitoring results using multi-angle electrical impedance tomography

摘要

With continuous monitoring of the lungs using multi-angle electric impedance tomography method, a large array of images of impedance changes in the patient's chest cavity is accumulated. This article proposes a method for evaluating the regional ventilation function of lungs based on the results of continuous monitoring using the multi-angle electric impedance tomography method, which allows one image of the thoracic cavity to be formed on the basis of a large array of images of the impedance change in the patient's chest cavity. In the presence of pathologies in the lungs (neoplasms, fluid, pneumothorax, etc.) in these areas, air filling will be disrupted, which will be displayed on the generated image. When conducting continuous monitoring in several sections, a three-dimensional pattern of air filling of the thoracic cavity is possible.
