ABSTRACT: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a medical imaging technique which can be used to monitor the regional ventilation in patients utilizing voltage measurements made at the thorax. Several reconstruction algorithms have been developed during the last few years. In this manuscript we compare a well-established algorithm and a re-cently developed method for image reconstruction regarding EIT indices derived from the differently reconstructed images.
