Abstract
This paper presents applications of boundary element methods to electr ical impedance tomography. An algorithm for imaging the interior of a domain that consists of regions of constant conductivity is developed, that makes use of a simpler parametrization of the shapes of the regi ons to achieve efficiency. Numerical results from tests of this algori thm on synthetic data are presented, and show that the method is quite promising. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
