Fast shape-reconstruction in electrical impedance tomography<br />

The mathematical problem behind electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is how to reconstruct the coefficient<br />

σ(x) in the elliptic partial differential equation<br />

from knowledge of the Neumann-to-Dirichlet operator<br />

∇ · σ(x)∇u(x) = 0, x ∈ Ω, (3)<br />

Λ(σ) : g ↦→ u| ∂Ω, u solves (3).<br />

We concentrate on the following anomaly detection (or shape detection) problem in EIT. Assume that<br />

σ differs from a known reference conductivity σ0 only in a (possibly disconnected) open subset D with<br />

D ⊂ Ω,<br />

σ(x) = σ0 + σD(x)χD(x),<br />

where χD(x) denotes the characteristic function of D. Our goal is to locate the conductivity anomalies D<br />

from Λ(σ).<br />

Somewhat surprisingly, linearizing the inverse problem of EIT does not lead to shape errors (Harrach/Seo,<br />

2010). Based on this result, we will <strong>der</strong>ive fast shape reconstruction methods in this talk.<br />
