Explore peer-reviewed research on EIT's role in ventilation, lung recruitment, and personalized respiratory care. 

The Sentec LuMon™ EIT system brings continuous, real-time visibility to changes in regional air distribution at the patient bedside.

EIT is a radiation-free, functional lung imaging technology that provides valuable information and can help care teams make well-informed personalized decisions for complex patients and can support clinicians in personalizing ventilation strategies for each patient, optimizing lung recruitment while minimizing overdistension and intervening proactively to reduce ventilation-related complications.

This curated bibliography highlights key studies using Sentec’s EIT system,
organized by clinical application:

  • Validation & Clinical Performance – Assessing accuracy, reliability, and technical innovations in EIT

  • Personalization of Ventilation Strategies – Using EIT to tailor care based on regional lung performance 

  • Weaning from Mechanical Ventilation – Monitoring lung changes during extubation and transition to noninvasive support with EIT 

  • Evaluation of Therapeutic InterventionsHow EIT can help measure the impact of respiratory therapies, ventilation modes, and procedures on lung function 

  • Reviews & Guidelines – Expert consensus on EIT best practices and terminology

What is Electrical Impedance Tomography?

EIT provides noninvasive, functional imaging that provides dynamic, regional information about ventilation and lung recruitment to support personalized care.

Gentle belt for continuous comfort 

The soft fabric EIT belt sends gentle alternating currents through the thorax and measures resulting voltages.​

  • Skin-safe, non-adhesive belts with sizes that accommodate diverse patient sizes, from adults to the smallest neonates​
  • Up to 72 hours of patient monitoring ​
  • Automatic tracking and display of patient position with an integrated orientation sensor

Intuitive monitor for individualized care  

A sophisticated algorithm translates the impedance measurements into real-time images and measures of air distribution within the chest, displayed in an easy-to-understand interface.  

  • Live images and values display breath-to-breath changes in air distribution in the lung 
  • Customizable display configurations for tailored monitoring  
  • Integrates with other bedside devices, including ventilators, to provide a more complete clinical picture
