Capacitively coupled electrical impedance tomography (CCEIT) is a new contactless EIT technique that can potentially be used as a wearable device. Recent studies have shown that a machine learning-based approach is very promising for EIT image reconstruction. Most of the studies concern models containing up to 22 electrodes and focus on using different artificial neural network models, from simple shallow networks to complex convolutional networks. However, the use of convolutional networks in image reconstruction with a higher number of electrodes requires further investigation. In this work, two different architectures of artificial networks were used for CCEIT image reconstruction: a fully connected deep neural network and a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). The training dataset was generated by the numerical simulation of a thorax phantom with healthy and illness-affected lungs. Three kinds of illnesses, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and hydropneumothorax, were modeled using the electrical properties of the tissues. The thorax phantom included the heart, aorta, spine, and lungs. The sensor with 32 area electrodes was used in the numerical model. The ECTsim custom-designed toolbox for Matlab was used to solve the forward problem and measurement simulation. Two artificial neural networks were trained with supervision for image reconstruction. Reconstruction quality was compared between those networks and one-step algebraic reconstruction methods such as linear back projection and pseudoinverse with Tikhonov regularization. This evaluation was based on pixel-to-pixel metrics such as root-mean-square error, structural similarity index, 2D correlation coefficient, and peak signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, the diagnostic value measured by the ROC AUC metric was used to assess the image quality. The results showed that obtaining information about regional lung function (regions affected by pneumothorax or pleural effusion) is possible using image reconstruction based on supervised learning and deep neural networks in EIT. The results obtained using cGAN are strongly better than those obtained using a fully connected network, especially in the case of noisy measurement data. However, diagnostic value estimation showed that even algebraic methods allow us to obtain satisfactory results." > <link rel="image_src" href="https://pub.mdpi-res.com/img/journals/sensors-logo.png?8600e93ff98dbf14" > <meta name="dc.title" content="Image Reconstruction Using Supervised Learning in Wearable Electrical Impedance Tomography of the Thorax"> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Mikhail Ivanenko"> <meta name="dc.creator" content="Waldemar T.

Capacitively coupled electrical impedance tomography (CCEIT) is a new contactless EIT technique that can potentially be used as a wearable device. Recent studies have shown that a machine learning-based approach is very promising for EIT image reconstruction. Most of the studies concern models containing up to 22 electrodes and focus on using different artificial neural network models, from simple shallow networks to complex convolutional networks. However, the use of convolutional networks in image reconstruction with a higher number of electrodes requires further investigation. In this work, two different architectures of artificial networks were used for CCEIT image reconstruction: a fully connected deep neural network and a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN). The training dataset was generated by the numerical simulation of a thorax phantom with healthy and illness-affected lungs. Three kinds of illnesses, pneumothorax, pleural effusion, and hydropneumothorax, were modeled using the electrical properties of the tissues. The thorax phantom included the heart, aorta, spine, and lungs. The sensor with 32 area electrodes was used in the numerical model. The ECTsim custom-designed toolbox for Matlab was used to solve the forward problem and measurement simulation. Two artificial neural networks were trained with supervision for image reconstruction. Reconstruction quality was compared between those networks and one-step algebraic reconstruction methods such as linear back projection and pseudoinverse with Tikhonov regularization. This evaluation was based on pixel-to-pixel metrics such as root-mean-square error, structural similarity index, 2D correlation coefficient, and peak signal-to-noise ratio. Additionally, the diagnostic value measured by the ROC AUC metric was used to assess the image quality. The results showed that obtaining information about regional lung function (regions affected by pneumothorax or pleural effusion) is possible using image reconstruction based on supervised learning and deep neural networks in EIT. The results obtained using cGAN are strongly better than those obtained using a fully connected network, especially in the case of noisy measurement data. However, diagnostic value estimation showed that even algebraic methods allow us to obtain satisfactory results.</div> </section> <div id="html-keywords"> <div class="html-gwd-group"><div id="html-keywords-title">Keywords: </div><a href="/search?q=capacitively+coupled+electrical+impedance+tomography">capacitively coupled electrical impedance tomography</a>; <a href="/search?q=image+reconstruction">image reconstruction</a>; <a href="/search?q=inverse+problem">inverse problem</a>; <a href="/search?q=deep+neural+networks">deep neural networks</a>; <a href="/search?q=deep+learning">deep learning</a>; <a href="/search?q=fully+connected+neural+networks">fully connected neural networks</a>; <a href="/search?q=cGAN">cGAN</a>; <a href="/search?q=medical+imaging">medical imaging</a>; <a href="/search?q=lung+imaging">lung imaging</a>; <a href="/search?q=pneumothorax">pneumothorax</a>; <a href="/search?q=pleural+effusion">pleural effusion</a></div> <div> </div> </div> </div> </p> </div> </section> </div> <div class="hypothesis_container"> <ul class="menu html-nav" data-prev-node="#html-quick-links-title"> </ul> <div class="html-body"> <section id='sec1-sensors-23-07774' type='intro'><h2 data-nested='1'> 1. Introduction</h2><div class='html-p'>Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a low-cost and non-invasive technique for visualizing the internal structure of the human body [<a href="#B1-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">1</a>,<a href="#B2-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">2</a>,<a href="#B3-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">3</a>]. The image of conductance distribution is reconstructed from measurements made using the electrodes surrounding the body. The reconstruction of electric permittivity is possible when both impedance components are measured [<a href="#B4-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">4</a>]. EIT relies on the different electrical properties of tissues and organs, and those properties could vary depending on tissue condition [<a href="#B5-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">5</a>,<a href="#B6-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">6</a>]. Different electric properties in different image regions represent the various tissues and organs. Healthy and disease-affected tissues can be localized on the image.</div><div class='html-p'>Image quality in EIT is limited due to very poor spatial image resolution and low sensitivity in the center of the field of view. Despite this, EIT has shown its potential in medical diagnostics [<a href="#B7-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">7</a>], especially in lung ventilation monitoring, which is possible due to the high impedance of lung tissue in comparison to other tissues and to a significant difference in impedance between inspiration and expiration phases [<a href="#B8-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">8</a>]. A few commercial EIT devices are available on the market currently, and some are in development [<a href="#B9-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">9</a>]. In addition to lung ventilation evaluation, promising studies are devoted to lung perfusion evaluation [<a href="#B10-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">10</a>]. However, other emerging medical applications of EIT, still in the research phase, are brain imaging [<a href="#B11-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">11</a>], cardiac volume monitoring [<a href="#B12-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">12</a>], and gastric emptying [<a href="#B13-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">13</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>A barrier to the development of EIT is the problem of measuring very small signals. The very low signal-to-noise ratio makes it impossible to increase the number of electrodes. It leads to poor sampling of the signal at the edge of the field of view, which translates into a small number of measurements and poor spatial resolution of the image. In addition, a large difference in the measurement values for adjacent and opposite electrodes leads to poor numerical conditioning of the linear system matrix.</div><div class='html-p'>The new approaches for measurement in EIT were presented in the literature, for example, dual frequency EIT, multiple frequency EIT [<a href="#B14-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">14</a>], and a new emerging technique named capacitively coupled electrical impedance tomography (CCEIT). The introduction of CCEIT allows for overcoming the most challenging issue of conventional EIT, such as variable electrode–skin impedance, which negatively affects measurement accuracy. Unlike EIT, where the measurement is four-electrode, CCEIT is a two-electrode measurement similar to electrical capacitance tomography (ECT). Capacitance measurement eliminates the negative effects of contact resistance as it does not require direct contact between electrodes and conductive tissue. This measurement method is less burdensome for the patient because a tomographic sensor may be constructed in the form of a wearable belt with electrodes. The tomographic sensor can also be embedded in clothes and used as a wearable tomographic sensor [<a href="#B15-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">15</a>,<a href="#B16-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">16</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>A big challenge in the EIT is to solve the inverse problem, which consists of determining the cross-sections of the tested object on the basis of measurements made using electrodes placed around this object. Ongoing research is conducted in various directions. In the analytical approach to the inverse problem, the D-Bar method, a generalization of the Calderon method, is of great interest [<a href="#B17-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">17</a>,<a href="#B18-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">18</a>]. The D-Bar method solves a non-linear problem, but like other algorithms, it requires regularization to reduce artifacts.</div><div class='html-p'>In the algebraic approach to tomographic reconstruction in EIT and CCEIT, the inverse problem is non-linear and severely ill-posed because the number of measurements is low in relation to the reconstructed image’s number of pixels.

The single network approach is based on using either linear or convolutional ANN. In this case, the network is trained directly on samples containing generated permittivity distributions and corresponding calculated measurements. Joint reconstruction consists of two steps: preliminary reconstruction via solving the linear approximation of the inverse problem using the traditional numerical method such as Gauss–Newton, and then enhancing the result by applying an ANN to post-produce the reconstructed image. This approach provides better stability and accuracy. An example of the hybrid approach is reconstruction, which relies on the combined usage of fully connected ANN and U-Net-based ANN. A fully connected ANN is used to obtain the preliminary physical parameter distribution [<a href="#B33-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">33</a>].

During ANN training, it is important to artificially introduce noise into simulated data as it increases model stability and decreases the possibility of overfitting [<a href="#B34-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">34</a>]. Overfitting is a well-known issue that causes the loss of ANN’s generalization ability. Additionally, it is possible to prevent overfitting by increasing the diversity of the training dataset.

Model of the Human Thorax</h4><div class='html-p'>A model of a 2D slice of the human thorax, proposed in [<a href="#B60-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">60</a>], was used in the generation of the training dataset. The proposed thorax phantom is based on axial lung CT slice segmentation [<a href="#B63-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">63</a>] and presents the patient lying on his back. The model includes the heart, aorta, spine, and lungs (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f001" class="html-fig">Figure 1</a>a). A sensor with 32 electrodes was used. Permittivity and conductivity values of the model elements are given in <a href="#sensors-23-07774-t001" class="html-table">Table 1</a> and <a href="#sensors-23-07774-t002" class="html-table">Table 2</a>. Lung tissue permittivity and conductivity values (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-t001" class="html-table">Table 1</a>) for inspiration and expiration phases are defined for excitation frequency 100 MHz for healthy lungs and two conditions: pneumothorax (further referred to as illness A) and pleural effusion (illness B) [<a href="#B56-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">56</a>]. The lung and pleura can be affected by either one or both conditions. Pneumothorax occurs when there is a pathological accumulation of air between the collapsed lung tissue and the interior wall of the thorax. When a patient is lying in a supine position, the air in the pleural cavity moves towards the anterior chest wall, which corresponds to the top of the image. Therefore, pneumothorax is modeled by generating an ellipse shifted to the bottom and center of the model. The intersection of this ellipse with the lung represents the partially collapsed lung tissue, and the rest of the thorax represents the air trapped in the pleural cavity. Pleural effusion is defined as the pathological accumulation of excessive fluid in the pleura. In the supine position, free fluid tends to collect in the dorsal parts of the pleura, which corresponds to the bottom of the image. Pleural effusion is modeled in a similar way as pneumothorax, but the ellipse is shifted to the top and center of the image. Hydropneumothorax occurs when the pleura is affected simultaneously by both illnesses (the concurrent presence of air and fluid in the pleural cavity). In this case, the pleural effusion is almost perfectly horizontal in the supine position, with no characteristic meniscus. Therefore, the healthy part of the thorax is represented by the intersection of the lung with an ellipse shifted towards the center of the model. The pleura is divided by a straight line into the upper part corresponding to the pneumothorax and the lower part corresponding to the pleural effusion. The dielectric properties of the effusion fluid are close enough to those of blood with extremely low red blood cell amounts. According to cow blood-based studies, blood’s electrical parameters (relative permittivity and conductivity) depend on the hematocrit level [<a href="#B64-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">64</a>]. In accordance with human blood-based studies, we can take the conductivity value for hematocrit 0 to be equal to 1.4 S/m [<a href="#B65-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">65</a>]. This value is consistent with the value obtained from cow blood, so for the purpose of this work, we can assume a permittivity value of 70. Both conditions imply a reduction in the image region with electrical properties corresponding to the healthy lung and growth in the area with abnormal electrical properties.</div><div class='html-p'>When generating the training set, possible individual changes were taken into account, i.e., the location and size of the lungs, the location and size of the heart, aorta, and spine. A certain range of change in the center position and the angle of rotation was adopted for all organs. All organs could also change their size, but the change in both axes was independent—all organs were modeled using ellipses. A uniform probability distribution was used for all ranges when selecting parameters from the range. Whether the lungs were healthy or affected by diseases A or B was randomized. The size and location of the illness-affected regions were randomized, with pneumothorax appearing only at the top (front of the supine patient) and effusion at the bottom of the image (back of the supine patient).</div><div class='html-p'>In ECTsim, the numerical simulation is performed on a dense, non-uniform mesh, but the reconstruction is conducted on a reduced mesh.

ANN Architecture Used</h4><div class='html-p'>Two different neural network architectures were used in the experiments: a fully connected neural network (FCNN) similar to EIT-4LDNN [<a href="#B39-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">39</a>] and a convolutional network based on a conditional generative adversarial network (cGAN) architecture. We will show that with the usage of modern ANN training techniques, such as the AdAM optimization algorithm [<a href="#B68-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">68</a>] and batch normalization layers [<a href="#B69-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">69</a>], it is possible to obtain satisfactory results with the usage of a simple, fully connected ANN with one hidden layer.</div><div class='html-p'>As a fully connected NN (FCNN), we used the network architecture shown in <a href="#sensors-23-07774-f003" class="html-fig">Figure 3</a>. It takes a vector of size 992 as an input, then applies batch normalization to the input, applies one linear layer (implemented as a general matrix multiply (GeMM) algorithm) with batch normalization and rectified linear unit (ReLU) activation, and then one more linear layer.</div><div class='html-p'>A different model used in this work was a convolutional network based on the cGAN architecture (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f004" class="html-fig">Figure 4</a>). It consisted of a U-Net-based generator (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f005" class="html-fig">Figure 5</a>) and a simple discriminator consisting of several convolutional layers (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f006" class="html-fig">Figure 6</a>). The convolutional and deconvolutional blocks were used as the building blocks for the generator and discriminator, as shown in <a href="#sensors-23-07774-f007" class="html-fig">Figure 7</a>. Usually, the generator in the cGAN approach takes a random latent vector and condition vector as input and generates an image as an output. The latent vector is intended to provide sufficient intraclass variability, which helps to obtain a more reliable output. Such an approach works well in the case of a relatively small condition vector, for example, as in the case of 12 electrodes corresponding to the size 66 of the condition vector [<a href="#B70-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">70</a>]. When the condition size increases, the network starts to lose stability, and some modifications are required. Our experiments found that using the Pix2Pix approach [<a href="#B71-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">71</a>] allowed us to create a stable cGAN network in the case of 992 measurements. Pix2Pix approach implies two main modifications to the traditional cGAN model: usage of dropouts inside the generator instead of latent vectors and modification of the generator loss function, which is based on adding L2 and L1 loss components referencing true images for the given condition as follows:<div class='html-disp-formula-info' id='FD6-sensors-23-07774'> <div class='f'> <math display='block'><semantics> <mrow> <mi>f</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mrow> <msub> <mi>l</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> <mo>,</mo> <msub> <mi>l</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> <mo>,</mo> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> <mo>,</mo> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> </mrow> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mo>=</mo> <mi>BCR</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mrow> <msub> <mi>l</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> <mo>,</mo> <msub> <mi>l</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> </mrow> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mo>+</mo> <mn>100</mn> <mi>MSE</mi> <mrow> <mo>(</mo> <mrow> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> <mo>,</mo> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> </mrow> <mo>)</mo> </mrow> <mo>+</mo> <mn>100</mn> <mrow> <mo>|</mo> <mrow> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> <mo>−</mo> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> </mrow> <mo>|</mo> </mrow> <mo> </mo> </mrow> </semantics></math> </div> <div class='l'> <label >(6)</label> </div> </div> where <math display='inline'><semantics> <mrow> <msub> <mi>l</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> </mrow> </semantics></math> is the reference value of the probability that the image is true, and <math display='inline'><semantics> <mrow> <msub> <mi>l</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> </mrow> </semantics></math> is the probability value of the image being true, determined by the discriminator. <math display='inline'><semantics> <mrow> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>r</mi> </msub> </mrow> </semantics></math> and <math display='inline'><semantics> <mrow> <msub> <mi>y</mi> <mi>p</mi> </msub> </mrow> </semantics></math> are reference and predicted images, respectively; BCR is a binary cross-entropy and MSE is a mean square error.</div><div class='html-p'>We divided the whole dataset into training and testing subsets to train the reconstruction model as described above.

Image Diagnostical Value Evaluation Using ANN Classifier</h4><div class='html-p'>Considering the medical applications of EIT, it is implied to evaluate its model diagnostic value. For this purpose, in this work, we proposed the following procedure: Labeled samples corresponding to different medical conditions are entered into the training dataset. The classifying neural network is trained on the generated image data (true images). The classifying neural network is verified on reconstructed images. Comparison of the classification results allows us to assess the diagnostic value of the reconstructed images.</div><div class='html-p'>A well-known approach to the comparison of classification models is the use of receiver operating characteristic curves (ROC). The ROC curve demonstrates the diagnostic ability of a binary classifier depending on changes in the discrimination threshold. The value of the AUC (area under the ROC curve) metric shows the model’s performance and ranges from 0 to 1, where 1 means perfect performance, 0.9 means very good performance, and 0.5 means no performance.</div><div class='html-p'>For multi-class classification, as in our case, the analysis of the AUC metric needs to be adjusted. In our model, we have 16 classes of lung status, starting with a class when both lungs are healthy and ending with a class when both lungs are affected by both diseases. One additional class (17th) corresponds to random ellipses in the thorax phantom. The OvR (one versus the rest) method was used, which consists of calculating the ROC curve for each of the 17 classes, where in each step, a given class is considered a positive class and the remaining classes are given a negative weight. The average ROC curve is used to evaluate the multi-class classifier [<a href="#B73-sensors-23-07774" class="html-bibr">73</a>].</div><div class='html-p'>To evaluate reconstruction quality, we used the classifier ANN with the architecture shown in <a href="#sensors-23-07774-f008" class="html-fig">Figure 8</a>. A conductivity vector dataset of size 1856 reshaped to a 64×64 matrix is used as an input to the ANN classifier. The classifier produces the probability of belonging to one of the 17 classes. Because of the two-dimensional input, we selected the following network architecture: We used 2D convolutions with batch normalization and then applied a fully connected layer with softmax activation to produce a vector of probabilities. Softmax activation has the property that the sum of all vector elements is one.

The mean value, standard deviation, and median over the testing dataset were calculated (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-t003" class="html-table">Table 3</a>). Image quality norms for the testing data with a high level of noise (30 dB) calculated for an image reconstructed using ANNs are given in <a href="#sensors-23-07774-t004" class="html-table">Table 4</a>. It is easy to see that reconstruction with the use of ANNs gives significantly better results than algebraic methods. The image quality norms for reconstruction using very noisy measurement data (30 dB and 10 dB) obtained by neural networks are better than the norms obtained for low-noise data by classical methods (LBP, TPINV). And among ANNs, the cGAN-based network produces more accurate images. It is easy to see that a cGAN-based network allows us to obtain very good results even in the case of very high noise (10 dB). Introducing noise during training makes results from both FCNN and cGAN-based networks even better and allows us to obtain images comparable to those obtained from measurements without noise. However, the simple network (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f010" class="html-fig">Figure 10</a>) cannot achieve the level of quality produced by the complex convolutional network (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f011" class="html-fig">Figure 11</a>). The histograms of the distribution of image distance measures are shown in <a href="#sensors-23-07774-f012" class="html-fig">Figure 12</a>.</div><div class='html-p'>The diagnostic value of reconstructed images was evaluated using the classifier network trained on ground truth images. The OvR (one versus the rest) method was used to assess multi-class classification. We calculated mean ROC curves for each reconstruction method without introducing noise into measurements and then calculated corresponding AUC metric values (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f013" class="html-fig">Figure 13</a>a). Cases involving the introduction of noise into training and testing datasets were also evaluated (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f013" class="html-fig">Figure 13</a>b).

The obtained values show that ANN-based image reconstruction methods allow for a comparably high ability of the classifier to recognize lung illness conditions. However, it is interesting that even one-step algebraic methods allow for obtaining results confirming that the reconstructed images contain information about the presence of the disease in lung regions. Differences in the conductivity values in the reconstructed images resulting from the presence of the disease are sufficient to identify the disease entity.</div></section><section id='sec4-sensors-23-07774' type='discussion'><h2 data-nested='1'> 4. Discussion</h2><div class='html-p'>In our work, we have shown the reconstruction of human thorax numerical phantom images in 32-electrode CCEIT. The two artificial neural networks were used to solve an inverse problem. As expected, the more complex NN based on the CGAN architecture achieved better results than the simple, fully connected NN (FCNN). The FCNN produces acceptable results but has reduced generalization ability. This is evidenced by the second peak, for a lower SSIM value, visible in the SSIM measure histogram for the test dataset (<a href="#sensors-23-07774-f012" class="html-fig">Figure 12</a>c). This peak corresponds to the images of random ellipses. The CGAN-based network does not show any irregularities on metrics histograms.</div><div class='html-p'>Diagnostic ability evaluation showed very good classification performance on ANN-reconstructed images. However, unexpectedly, the reconstruction with the use of simple one-step algebraic methods also showed acceptable performance. That leads to the hypothesis that it is potentially possible to detect illnesses based on simple reconstruction. Also, it may be possible to create a classifier network able to detect illness conditions directly from measurements.</div><div class='html-p'>Algebraic methods require both real and imaginary parts of measurements represented by complex numbers. However, ANN training on complex numbers is only at its beginning. Therefore, we trained networks only on the imaginary part of the measurements and electrical permittivity. It might be interesting to train a network using complex input and output and compare the robustness of such a complex weighted ANN.</div></section><section id='sec5-sensors-23-07774' type='conclusions'><h2 data-nested='1'> 5. Conclusions</h2><div class='html-p'>The use of CCEIT in wearable solutions requires a fast and computationally efficient reconstruction method. Our work shows that such a solution may be obtained with the use of an artificial neural network. We have developed a numerical phantom modeling the transversal slice of the human thorax, allowing simulation of different illness conditions arising in the regions of the image showing a conductivity distribution in the thorax. Such conditions correspond to the cases of lung reduction on the image and the appearance of regions with extremely high or low conductivity on the image. We have shown that numerical simulation of the reconstruction process with an ANN-based approach shows very promising results: while the reconstruction speed is comparable to a one-step algebraic approach, reconstruction quality, assessed with the use of image distance measures, is much higher in the case of the ANN-based approach.</div><div class='html-p'>In addition to the evaluation of results based on image quality metrics, an approach based on the assessment of the classifier’s ability to recognize a disease state using reconstructed images was proposed. The assessment using the classifier showed that even the images reconstructed by the simplest reconstruction methods still contained information about the location of the zones with changed conductivity.</div><div class='html-p'>As a result of the analysis of neural network models, it was concluded that a more complex network based on the cGAN architecture gives better reconstruction results, although the simplest possible network gives relatively good results.</div><div class='html-p'>Due to the limitations of the tools used, training of deep networks was carried out using only an imaginary part of capacitance and electrical permittivity. However, the real processes occurring during electrical capacitance tomography are better described by complex numbers.</div><div class='html-p'>Due to the simulation nature of the above work, the obtained results cannot be directly used for medical imaging. It is, therefore, necessary to conduct further research, both in simulation and, if possible, on real data. Based on the obtained results, it can be concluded that there are three directions for further research: clarification and extension of the model based on convolutional networks, ANN training using complex numbers, and examination of the classification possibilities of data reconstructed by classical reconstruction algorithms.</div></section> </div> <div class="html-back"> <section class='html-notes'><h2 >Author Contributions</h2><div class='html-p'>Conceptualization, W.T.S., M.M. and X.Y.; methodology, M.I., W.T.S., D.W. and M.M.; software, M.I., D.W., P.W. and X.H.; validation, M.I., D.W., M.M. and X.H.; formal analysis, X.Y.; investigation, M.I., D.W., P.W. and X.H.; resources, P.W.; data curation, P.W.; writing—original draft preparation, M.I. and W.T.S.; writing—review and editing, W.T.S., M.M. and X.Y.; visualization, M.I., X.H. and D.W.; supervision, W.T.S. and X.Y.; project administration, W.T.S.
