Background:

Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a non-invasive imaging technique.
Traditional Finite Element (FE) methods face meshing challenges, while Element-Free Galerkin (EFG) methods are computationally intensive.
A hybrid approach is needed to leverage the strengths of both FE and EFG methods for improved EIT analysis.

Purpose of the Study:

To present and validate a hybrid Finite Element-Element Free Galerkin (FE-EFG) method for solving forward and inverse problems in EIT.
To combine the advantages of FE and EFG methods, overcoming their individual limitations.
To assess the performance of the hybrid FE-EFG method against the conventional FE method for EIT image reconstruction.

Main Methods:

Application of the hybrid FE-EFG method based on the complete electrode model for the forward problem.
Utilizing an iterative regularized Gauss-Newton method to solve the inverse problem.
Computation of the Jacobian matrix using the proposed hybrid FE-EFG method.

Main Results:

Numerical results obtained using 2D circular homogeneous models were validated against analytical and experimental data.
The performance of the hybrid FE-EFG method was demonstrated to be superior to the standard FE method.
Successful image reconstruction was achieved for a human chest experimental phantom.

Conclusions:

The hybrid FE-EFG method offers a robust and efficient solution for both forward and inverse problems in EIT.
This approach effectively overcomes the meshing difficulties of FE methods and the computational cost of EFG methods.
The validated results, including human chest phantom imaging, highlight the potential of the hybrid FE-EFG method for practical EIT applications.
