Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is an imaging modality wherein electrical current is applied to the surface of an object, surface voltages are measured, and this boundary data is used to reconstruct interior electrical properties. Numerous exciting applications for EIT are being developed by researchers in diverse fields. However, EIT reconstruction is an extremely ill-posed inverse problem, leading to significant challenges in the reconstruction process. Improved reconstruction methods, which seek to stabilize the inversion process, are therefore an active area of research. This minisymposium will bring together researchers from around the world to present the latest advances in EIT reconstruction methods.
