    Area of Science:

    • Medical Imaging
    • Computational Electromagnetics

    Background:

    • Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) reconstructs internal electrical properties using surface measurements.
    • Accurate EIT image reconstruction depends on solving an inverse problem, requiring a precise sensitivity matrix (J).
    • The finite element method (FEM) is commonly used for calculating J, with refinement near electrodes often recommended.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To analyze the accuracy requirements for FEM refinement near electrodes in EIT.
    • To present a technique for refining arbitrary FEMs in EIT.

    Main Methods:

    • Investigated the relationship between FEM mesh density near electrodes and the accuracy of the sensitivity matrix (J).
    • Developed and demonstrated a novel technique for refining existing FEM meshes, particularly around electrode regions.

    Main Results:

    • Quantified the impact of FEM refinement levels on EIT reconstruction accuracy.
    • Showcased the effectiveness of the proposed technique in improving FEM accuracy for EIT.

    Conclusions:

    • Precise FEM refinement near electrodes is critical for accurate EIT.
    • The presented technique offers a flexible approach to enhance FEM accuracy in EIT applications.
