Abstract

Electrical impedance tomography is an inverse problem of elliptic differential equations. Numerical methods based on combining generalized difference method and Levenberg–Marquardt iteration on a planar domain are proposed. Positive semi-definiteness and existence of solution of the generalized difference scheme are proved. Element geometry matrix is introduced to shortcut calculation and standardize computer program. A series of numerical experiments verify the reliability of its mathematical model and the feasibility of the algorithm. A class of electrical current patterns is proposed to minimize the number of direct problems to be solved in each iteration. These methods have been applied successfully in practical simulation of electrical impedance tomography.
