Electric Imaging: Faster, Safer, More Refined

About This Event

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a new medical imaging technology with many exciting advantages and applications. The method offers low-cost safe imaging, portability, real-time functional capabilities, and is being tested for use in diverse applications such as breast cancer diagnosis and lung monitoring. But image formation involves a tricky math problem, and so EIT research is a vibrant interdisciplinary field for mathematicians, working in conjunction with medical professionals, to improve this promising new technology. In this talk, Melody Alsaker will provide an overview of the technology and its uses, along with an intriguing glimpse at the underlying mathematics and research.

The College of Arts & Sciences presents two Dean's Research & Creative Activity Forums each semester, inviting faculty who have published books, built collaborations, or made notable advancements in their fields to share details of their work with colleagues, students, and members of the community.
