# UU209805039 - Electrical Impedance Tomography ( EIT ) Monitor

2026-11-03

The University of Utah ( University ) on behalf of the Helix Cardiology team is seeking an Electrical Impedance Tomography ( EIT ) Monitor Supplier ( Vendor ). Proposed items or systems must be able to provide services as described in the attached scope of work and minimum specifications . Electrical Impedance Tomography ( EIT ) is a non - invasive imaging technique that maps electrical conductivity / impedance within a body or object by applying small , safe electrical currents through boundary electrodes and measuring the resulting voltage changes to create real - time images , useful for monitoring lung ventilation , assessing fluid , and detecting issues like pneumonia or pneumothorax , especially in ICUs where CT / MRI are difficult . It is non - ionizing , real time , and cost effective compared to CT or MRI to image patients in the intensive care unit ( ICU ). It allows for visualization of the consolidation / aeration of the lung , regionally . Lung EIT has been used as an outcome for studies of interventions with mechanical ventilation settings , including for patients on ECMO . This is the purchaser ’ s area of focus in their research and so they will be investigating the effect of interventions on pulmonary EIT findings . See more
