Transceive phase corrected 2D contrast source inversion-electrical properties tomography

Purpose: To remove the necessity of the tranceive phase assumption for CSI-EPT and show electrical properties maps reconstructed from measured data obtained using a standard 3T birdcage body coil setup. Methods: The existing CSI-EPT algorithm is reformulated to use the transceive phase rather than relying on the transceive phase assumption....

Transceive Phase Corrected Contrast Source Inversion-Electrical Properties Tomography

Electrical properties tomography is the quantification of the conductivity and permittivity of different materials. In an MRI setting this can be used to map the electrical properties of tissue. These values can be used as a different contrast mechanism, for hyperthermia treatment or the improvement of antenna design for specific applications....
