Why Choose Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)?
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.
EIT supports clinicians in:
Continuous, real-time, noninvasive monitoring at the bedside
Radiation-free technology
Monitor patients regardless of ventilation strategy
Regional lung information
Connect to a wide variety of ventilators
Skin-safe, non-adhesive belts
Electrical ImpedAnce Tomography
In the NICU
In neonatal intensive care, ventilation management is uniquely challenging due to small airways, compliant chest walls, and minimal lung volumes. Key benefits of the Sentec LuMon™ EIT system in the NICU include the ability to:
- Monitor neonates with chest circumferences as small as 16.5 cm
- Assess changes in lung recruitment regardless of ventilation strategy
- Apply fabric belts safely without adhesive
- Connect to a wide variety of ventilators
- Visualize ventilation distribution patterns
- Identify potential areas of overdistension and collapse

Electrical Impedance Tomography
For Adults
EIT provides noninvasive, functional imaging that visualizes dynamic, regional information about ventilation and lung recruitment to support personalized care. With EIT in the ICU, clinicians can:
- Monitor patients regardless of ventilation strategy
- Visualize ventilation distribution patterns
- Assess changes in lung recruitment
- Connect to a wide variety of ventilators
- Identify potential areas of overdistension and collapse
These insights help clinicians tailor interventions, optimize ventilation, and prevent ventilator-induced lung injury.
Advanced Functionality from the LuMon™ System
Intuitive monitoring 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.
- Continuous, real-time visibility to changes in regional air distribution at the bedside
- Customizable display allows configurations for tailored monitoring
- Integrates with other bedside devices, including ventilators, to provide a more complete clinical picture
Identify Silent Spaces
The LuMon™ System can detect and track Silent Spaces—areas of the lung showing little or no impedance change during breathing. Monitoring Silent Spaces helps clinicians recognize poorly ventilated regions, assess recruitment, and guide adjustments in ventilation strategy.
Optimize PEEP with Confidence
Electrical Impedance Tomography lets clinicians see, in real time, how changes to PEEP affect lung recruitment and regional compliance. This supports personalization of settings for each patient to improve recruitment while minimizing the risk of overdistension and lung injury.

Gentle belt for continuous patient 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
What is Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT)?
Unlike traditional imaging, EIT is a noninvasive, radiation-free imaging technique that uses safe electrical currents to provide continuous, regional information about ventilation and lung recruitment to support personalized care at the bedside.
