Abstract

Electrical impedance Tomography (EIT) is a newly developed nondestructive testing technology in recent decades. It can reconstruct the internal image of the measured body according to the measured voltage obtained from the electrode array on the surface of the measured body. EIT has attracted wide attention from all walks of life because of its advantages such as non-damage and simple system. In this paper, the forward and inverse problems of EIT imaging as well as the hardware are introduced, including the advantages and disadvantages of the algorithm, the existing problems and the current research level, etc. At the same time, the factors affecting the imaging quality of each part are analyzed in detail. EIT has been applied in many directions, especially in the medical field, which has a high research value and significance. It is hoped that readers can have a certain understanding of the concept of EIT imaging and the overall process of image reconstruction through reading this article.
