EIT Research Groups

This is a list of some major EIT research groups worldwide (in alphabetical order). Please contact us if you would like your department included (whether you have a web site or not) or your group's entry updated.

• Arizona Group
  
• Aachen Group Group
  An academic group working on hardware design as well as algorithms with a focus on lung ventilation, lung perfusion and bladder volume.
• Barcelona Group
  A group working on all aspects of EIT. Their web site includes plenty of information about bioimpedance.

  A group working on the analysis of sequences of EIT images for the extraction of hemodynamic variables.
• Dartmouth Group
  A group applying EIT to breast imaging for cancer screening and designing new EIT hardware to operate up to 10 MHz.
• Furtwangen university Germany Group
  A group applying clinical applications of thorax EIT and 3-D reconstruction
• Göttingen Group
  A clinically based group, researching pulmonary applications of EIT.
• Graz Group
  Working in the fields of multifrequency-EIT, impedance-spectroscopy and magnetic induction tomography/spectroscopy (MIT, MIS).
• IIRC(Impedance Imaging Research Center)
  This group in Korea is developing new methods of impedance imaging including MREIT, EIT and projection imaging.
