title = "The improved Newton-Raphson method and its parallel implementation for static impedance imaging",
abstract = "Static image reconstruction in electrical impedance tomography (EIT) using iterative algorithms requires a large computation time. An improved Newton-Raphson (N-R) method which is more efficient, more robust, and easily parallelizable has been developed. In order to check the feasibility of parallel computation in EIT, the algorithm was implemented on a parallel computer system. The results show a reduction in the computation time within a certain limit as the number of processors is increased. It is concluded that the improved method is highly parallelizable and the use of parallel computers such as transputers may solve the computational problems in the static impedance imaging.",
