EIT electrodes require good connection with the skin for data acquisition and image reconstruction. However, detached electrodes are a common occurrence and cause measurement errors in EIT clinical applications. To address these issues, in this study, we proposed a method for detecting faulty electrodes using the differential voltage value of the detached electrode in an EIT system. Additionally, we proposed the voltage-replace and voltage-shift methods to compensate for invalid data from the faulty electrodes. In this study, we present the simulation, experimental, and in vivo chest results of our proposed methods to verify and evaluate the feasibility of this approach.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/s22249575","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,7]],"date-time":"2022-12-07T05:50:52Z","timestamp":1670392252000},"page":"9575","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Compensation for Electrode Detachment in Electrical Impedance Tomography with Wearable Textile Electrodes"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"22","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-3635-1182","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chang-Lin","family":"Hu","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu 310, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Zong-Yan","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Shu-Yun","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Law, National University of Kaohsiung, Kaohsiung 811, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"I-Cheng","family":"Cheng","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu 310, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu 300, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3012-543X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Chih-Hsien","family":"Huang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Yu-Hao","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Electrical Engineering, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan 701, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chien-Ju","family":"Li","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu 310, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chii-Wann","family":"Lin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Industrial Technology Research Institute, Hsinchu 310, Taiwan"},{"name":"Biomedical Electronics and Bioinformatics, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan"},{"name":"Department of Biomedical Engineering, National Taiwan University, Taipei 106, Taiwan"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2022,12,7]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"3810","DOI":"10.1109\/TCSI.2018.2858148","article-title":"A High Frame Rate Wearable EIT System Using Active Electrode ASICs for Lung Respiration and Heart Rate Monitoring","volume":"65","author":"Wu","year":"2018","journal-title":"IEEE Trans.
