Dataset Information

Multi-frequency electrical impedance tomography and neuroimaging data in stroke patients.

ABSTRACT: Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique, which has the potential to expedite the differentiation of ischaemic or haemorrhagic stroke, decreasing the time to treatment. Whilst demonstrated in simulation, there are currently no suitable imaging or classification methods which can be successfully applied to human stroke data. Development of these complex methods is hindered by a lack of quality Multi-Frequency EIT (MFEIT) data. To address this, MFEIT data were collected from 23 stroke patients, and 10 healthy volunteers, as part of a clinical trial in collaboration with the Hyper Acute Stroke Unit (HASU) at University College London Hospital (UCLH). Data were collected at 17 frequencies between 5 Hz and 2?kHz, with 31 current injections, yielding 930 measurements at each frequency. This dataset is the most comprehensive of its kind and enables combined analysis of MFEIT, Electroencephalography (EEG) and Computed Tomography (CT) or Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) data in stroke patients, which can form the basis of future research into stroke classification.

Project description:Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive real-time non-ionising imaging modality that has many applications. Since the first recorded use in 1978, the technology has become more widely used especially in human adult and neonatal critical care monitoring. Recently, there has been an increase in research on thoracic EIT in veterinary medicine. Real-time imaging of the thorax allows evaluation of ventilation distribution in anesthetised and conscious animals. As the technology becomes recognised in the veterinary community there is a need to standardize approaches to data collection, analysis, interpretation and nomenclature, ensuring comparison and repeatability between researchers and studies. A group of nineteen veterinarians and two biomedical engineers experienced in veterinary EIT were consulted and contributed to the preparation of this statement. The aim of this consensus is to provide an introduction to this imaging modality, to highlight clinical relevance and to include recommendations on how to effectively use thoracic EIT in veterinary species. Based on this, the consensus statement aims to address the need for a streamlined approach to veterinary thoracic EIT and includes: an introduction to the use of EIT in veterinary species, the technical background to creation of the functional images, a consensus from all contributing authors on the practical application and use of the technology, descriptions and interpretation of current available variables including appropriate statistical analysis, nomenclature recommended for consistency and future developments in thoracic EIT. The information provided in this consensus statement may benefit researchers and clinicians working within the field of veterinary thoracic EIT. We endeavor to inform future users of the benefits of this imaging modality and provide opportunities to further explore applications of this technology with regards to perfusion imaging and pathology diagnosis.
