ELECTRIC IMPEDANCE IMAGING SYSTEM, METHOD, AND COMPUTER PROGRAM

摘要

An electric impedance imaging system is presented in which the electrical permittivity and/or conductivity distribution is derived on the basis of magnetic resonance signals. The magnetic resonance signals are generated due to an excitation electro-magnetic field. Notably, a magnetic induction field strength is derived from the acquired magnetic resonance signals. Also the electrical field strength associated with the excitation electro-magnetic field is computed. The electrical permittivity and/or conductivity distribution is computed on the basis of the electric field strength and the magnetic induction field strength.
