ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY BASED IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION OF THE UTERUS USING PHANTOM

Abstract

The resistivity of different human tissue varies with large difference ranging from cerebrosinal fluid to bone. Images of such varied distributed resistivities inside an closed object can easily be reconstructed using image reconstruction algorithm. Electrical impedance tomography is relatively a new imaging technique which maps the distribution of electric resitivity of the closed object such as our body. The aim here is to reconstruct a conductivity image in the phantom papaya which is a model of a uterus of human using finite element method.
