Area of Science:

  • Medical Imaging
  • Applied Electromagnetics
  • Computational Science

Background:

  • Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is a medical imaging modality that reconstructs internal conductivity distributions from electromagnetic field measurements.
  • EIT has diverse clinical applications, including cardio-pulmonary and cranial imaging, and breast cancer detection.
  • The D-bar method, rooted in inverse scattering and a 2-D uniqueness proof by Nachman, offers a mathematical framework for EIT reconstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the efficacy of the D-bar method for solving the inverse conductivity problem in a realistic biological model.
  • To test the D-bar equation's solution using numerical simulations of a human chest.
  • To compare computed Faddeev solutions against each other and their theoretical asymptotic behavior.
