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
