Abstract | In congestive heart failure (CHF) patients an increased interstitial fluid leads to collection of large amounts of fluids in the lungs which are major cause of mortality. Classifying and monitoring pulmonary congestions is a significant clinical challenge, due to lack of direct access to the pleural cavity. In this study, we investigate the feasibility of the Parametric Electrical Impedance Tomography (pEIT) technique in classifying and monitoring pleural effusion. The investigation is based on pEIT with a reduced number of electrodes applied in a computerized 3D model of the human thorax. The Forward Problem for Poisson's equation was implemented using Finite Volume Method (FVM) to estimate the potentials developed on the body surface. Significant linear regression (r-square>0.81) was found in 7 and 6 out of 8 independent projections for the right and the left lung, respectively, indicating an increase in surface potential while increasing lungs fluids. Moreover, the study results show that the projection's sensitivity is higher for cross sectional projections during pleural effusion. Hence, monitoring and classifying pleural effusion can be achieved with the pEIT technique making it feasible in monitoring lung fluid status in patients with pleural effusion. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
