Genesis Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT): A Preliminary Study

University of Colorado, Denver

Start Date

5/3/2019

Completion Date

11/1/2026

Summary

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the Genesis Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) imaging system for use in pediatric respiratory disease populations including neuromuscular and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in age and height matched controls. The EIT does not use radiation, and is read through electrodes.

Detailed Description

The purpose of this study is to evaluate EIT for use in pediatric respiratory disease populations including neuromuscular and bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as in age and height matched controls. Researchers will use EIT to determine changes in regional ventilation with pulmonary interventions including airway clearance and invasive and noninvasive ventilation in a pediatric respiratory disease population.
