Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a radiation-free functional modality that enables bedside imaging and monitoring of lung function and expansion. It has been used in various clinical settings including acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS), establishing the best positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) [8] [9] [10] [11] [12] , the response of the lungs to recruitment manoeuvres [12] [13] [14] [15] [16] and trying to minimize areas of collapse and hyperinflation 6, 17 . Clinical interest in this method has been driven by the need for bedside monitoring of the dynamics of the lungs and the effects of ventilatory manoeuvres, including changes in ventilator settings, suctioning, chest drains, positioning and physiotherapy.
