Abstract

A new reconstruction algorithm for 3D Electrical Impedance Tomography and the reconstructed images which were obtained using the 3D Electrical Impedance Tomographic System are presented. A special method of supplying voltage to driver electrodes was employed. This method allowed the authors to obtain 3D tomograms contained 10⁴ voxels. The analysis of the model phantom images allowed conclusions to be made about the abilities of this approach to create biological object tomograms
