NCT04946331

Brief Summary

Our research uses the electrical impedance tomography system (EIT), which can use the applied current and measurement voltage through the body surface electrode group, and use the reconstruction algorithm to construct an image imaging system that exceeds the cross-sectional, which can provide images of the internal physiological changes of the chest contour, in order to quantify the changes in lung function caused by rib fractures.
