Abstract :
This work describes a method to find the conductivity distribution in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT), leading to a faster algorithm that is expected to increase the speed of obtaining EIT images. It was theoretically developed for a data-acquisition method, using multiterminal approaches. Results of EIT images obtained in a saline solution phantom are shown
