  • Electrical properties tomography based on radio frequency for human breast imaging

    Through magnetic resonance electrical properties tomography (MR-EPT), electrical conductivity and permittivity of biological tissues could be reconstructed based on radio frequency field of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) system. High precision and high resolution image could be obtained without current injection. In this study, XFDTD software was used to establish a finite element model of the human breast. Simulation was delivered at the Larmor frequency of 128 MHz by a 16-channel radio frequency coil. Conductivity and permittivity of the mammary tissue was reconstructed according to the B1+ field's amplitude and phase of forward problem. Anti-noise performance of the algorithm was studied by adding noise to B1+ field. The conductivity and permittivity's average relative error between simulation results and dielectric constant was 4.71% and 11.32%, respectively. With a signal-to-noise ratio of >30 dB, the noise added would not affect imaging results. This study demonstrated that high precision and high resolution image could be obtained by MR-EPT without excitation. MR-EPT had excellent feasibility and developing potential in early detection of diseases.
