Improved Algorithm Based on Sliced Sensitivity for Three.dimensional MREIT

An improved sliced sensitivity reconstruction algorithm is proposed for three-dimensional(3D) magnetic resonance electrical impedance tomography(MREIT).Using single component of magnetic flux density measured by a MR scanner,all slices are reconstructed respectively with a modification for 3D conductivity images.Simulation of a cubic model shows that the proposed algorithm improves interlayer crosstalk phenomenon with a higher image resolution than sliced reconstruction without modification and entire reconstruction algorithm.Computing time is significantly reduced.Simulation on a human leg model shows feasibility for complex imaging objects.Phantom results verify reconstruction algorithm in real measurements.The improved sliced sensitivity reconstruction algorithm reduces requirements for computer capability and reconstruction time of 3D MREIT with high imaging precision and efficiency.
