Static imaging of the electrical impedance tomography on cylinder physical phantom

Static imaging of the electrical impedance tomography can obtain the absolute electrical conductivity distribution at one section of the subject. The test is performed on a cylinder physical phantom in which slim rectangle, hollow cylinder, small rectangle or three cylinders are selected to simulate complex conductivity perturbation objects. The measurement data is obtained by a data acquisition system with 32 compound electrodes. A group of static images of conductivity distribution in the cylinder phantom are reconstructed by the modified Newton-Raphson algorithm with two kinds of regularization methods. The results show correct position, size, conductivity difference, and similar shape of the perturbation objects in the images.
