Abstract :
Electrical resistance tomography is a noninvasive diagnostic technique based on the identification of the conductivity profile inside a control volume using injected low-frequency currents. Possible advantages in clinical applications coming from a numerical approach based on the combination of meshless method and finite element method are discussed
