We present the results of using electrical impedance tomographic spectroscopy (EITS) to follow the changes in lung water induced by oleic acid. Measurements were made on three goats before and after the injection of oleic acid. In addition to the EITs measurements, lung water was also measured using a double-indicator technique. Large falls in lung electrical impedance were seen as a result of the increase in lung water but the size of the fall was a function of the frequency at which the measurements were made. These changes have been modelled using the Cole equation. Four-electrode measurements were also made on two extracted porcine lungs and Cole equation modelling carried out following the introduction of saline into the lungs. Results were similar in the two sets of animal experiments.
