    Abstract

    An electrical impedance tomography (EIT) method is considered in which 32 electrodes are placed around the thorax, currents are injected, and voltages are measured to reconstruct a cross-sectional image of resistivity. The authors solve the forward problem using the finite-element method (FEM). The number of elements determines the spatial resolution of the resistivity image. An adaptive current-injection method to provide an optimal current distribution is used. The modified Newton-Raphson method is used as the reconstruction algorithm. The authors use sparse matrix techniques with node renumbering methods to minimize the computation time.
