Claim:
1. A method to generate and display a simplified representation of information obtained through electrical impedance tomography, the method comprising: collecting electrical impedance tomography (EIT) data through operation of an electrical impedance tomography apparatus on a body; processing the EIT data to detect one or more of a major condition, trend, or event therefrom; defining at least one region of interest of a lung from the EIT data, the at least one region of interest comprising a set of two or more pixels determined to have in common the major condition, trend, or event detected from analyzing the EIT data, wherein at least some pixels of the set have different impedance values; and generating and displaying a graphical representation of the lung of the EIT data on an electronic display, the graphical representation of the lung displayed with a common visual feature over the at least one region of interest that overrides display of impedance information of each individual pixel within the at least one region of interest.
