A novel method for diaphragm-based electrode belt position of electrical impedance tomography by ultrasound

ConclusionsThe diaphragm-based EIT-belt position by ultrasound was feasible and resulted in different belt positions compared to the conventional position in  >  50% of the examined subjects, especially in patients with higher BMI. Further study is required to validate the impact on EIT images with this novel method on clinical management.
