An Analytic Simplification for the Reconstruction Problem of Electrical Impedance Tomography

This paper introduces a new reconstruction algorithm for electrical impedance tomography. The algorithm assumes that there are two separate regions of conductivity. These regions are represented as eccentric circles. This new algorithm then solves for the location of the eccentric circles. Due to the simple geometry of the forward problem, an analytic technique using conformal mapping and separation of variables has been employed. © 2002 John Wiley & Sons, Inc. Int. J. Imaging Syst.
