Abstract
A method of including dynamic spatial priors in the 2-D D-bar reconstruction algorithm is presented for use on time-difference reconstructions of human subject thoracic data The conductivity values for the prior are updated at each frame in the reconstruction using an optimization method applied to the scattering transform. The updates of the dynamic spatial priors are guided by a principle component analysis of the data to determine the timepoint in the ventilatory (or cardiac) cycle. The effectiveness of the method is demonstrated on human subject ventilatory data.
