Development of the method for determining electrode location and placement on the patient’s body in the EIT

The work is devoted to method for determining electrode location and placement on the human body in the EIT. A diagram of the human thoracic cavity is presented, which highlights three areas that can be used for EIT examination. A different variant of the electrode systems is proposed, consisting of different quantity of electrode belts that cover the chest cavity surface area. The variant with two belts allows diagnostics in a larger area of the lungs and realizing a three-dimensional reconstruction. The options for applying electrodes given in various studies are presented. The requirements for the application of electrodes for the developed device have been formed.
