Ingenious Talks presents: Imaging with Electricity - with speaker Andy Adler, Professor in Systems and Computer Engineering at Carleton University
Technologies which see inside bodies from the outside (using X-rays, ultrasound, MRI) have revolutionized medicine and many other industries. One of the earliest ideas was to create these images with applied electrical currents. Recently improved computer algorithms have created new possibilities for electrical impedance imaging. In this talk, we will look at the kinds of images one can make with this technology, from measuring heart pressure to fluid flows inside active volcanoes.
