Automatic detection of detached and erroneous electrodes in electrical impedance tomography.

abstract：:The widening application of automatic external defibrillators (AEDs) presents very strong requirements for external electrocardiogram (ECG) signal analysis. Highly accurate detection of shockable rhythms is required, aimed to approach the maximum of 100% sensitivity and specificity. In a previous study the performance...
