  • Abstract
    In this paper, a variant of the Newton method, which uses a fast solution of the direct problem and a dual mesh, is proposed. Computational and physical experiments with simple two-dimensional high-contrast phantoms are discussed, and a full-scaled image of a two-dimensional mathematical model of a human torso is obtained
