A novel numerical technique to enhance the spatial resolution of electrical impedance tomography systems

Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) has shown significant results as a functional imaging tool. However, it is not yet fully suitable for anatomical imaging because of its poor spatial resolution. In this study, the anatomical information of the test object is obtained in the form of the boundary...
