Abstract
A novel method for measuring the shunt impedance of current sources in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) systems is introduced. In an EIT system, electrical currents with theoretical sum of zero, are applied to the body and any mismatch between the currents results in current going through an extra grounded electrode. Since the N - 1 current patterns applied in an N-electrode EIT system are orthogonal to each other, by introducing an additional linearly- independent current pattern, a system of linear equations can be established from which the unknown shunt impedances can be calculated. The framework of the proposed scheme is introduced and its effectiveness is validated through both simulation and practical implementation. The experimental results show that by measuring the shunt impedances with the proposed method and using those values to adjust the current sources, the current passing through the grounded electrode is significantly reduced.
