Several designs
have been implemented over 2 decades, giving Maltron Sheffield research
team an unprecedented wealth
of experience and know how. Many designs have been implemented, making
Maltron Sheffield the largest manufacturer of
EIT systems in the world.
Over 2 decades of history of development which has resulted in the
following products being implemented:
MK1 - 16 Electrodes - 50KHZ data collection system
SAPT - Miniature version of MK1, for use with astronauts and flown on the
Russian MIR programme
MK2 - 16 Electrodes - 20KHZ. The system is mainly digital, using transputers and digital signal processing, enabling real time
operation at 25 frames per second.
MK3a - 16 Electrodes - Operating at 8 frequencies from 9.6KHZ
TO 1.2MHZ
MK3b - 64 Electrodes - Operating from 9.6KHZ TO 1.2MHZ
MK3.5 - 8 Electrodes - 2KHZ to 1.6MHZ at 30 frequencies.
Many of the MK1 and SAPT systems have been produced and used by many
research groups the world over.
The latest MK3.5 was designed primarily for ease of applications ant its
use on neonates.
