Abstract
Electrical Impedance Tomography is a non invasive lung function monitoring with the possibility of regional lung function studies concerning regional ventilation, regional lung perfusion and regional lung mechanics. This review describes the technique of Electrical Impedance Tomography, its possibility, limitations, and use in research and its possible use in clinical routine.
