A Three Dimensional Calderon-Based Method for EIT on the Cylindrical Geometry
Objective:
Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is an imaging modality in which voltage data arising from currents applied on the boundary are used to reconstruct the conductivity distribution in the interior. This paper provides a novel direct (noniterative) 3-D reconstruction algorithm for EIT in the cylindrical geometry.
Methods:
The algorithm is based on Calderón's method [Calderón, 1980], and is implemented for data collected on two or four rows of electrodes on the boundary of a cylinder.
Results:
The effectiveness of the method to localize inhomogeneities in the plane of the electrodes and in the z-direction is demonstrated on simulated and experimental data.
Conclusions And Significance:
The results from simulated and experimental data show that the method is effective for distinguishing in-plane and nearby out-of-plane inhomogeneities with good spatial resolution in the vertical z direction with computational efficiency.

Computed Tomography
The technique was invented in the 1970s and is based on the principle that as X-rays pass through the body, they are absorbed or reflected at different levels. In the technique, a patient lies on a motorized platform while a computerized axial tomography (CAT) scanner rotates...
