Virtual Resistive Network algorithm for inverse conductivity problems

چکیده
In this paper, we illustrated a numerical algorithm which we refer to as the Virtual Resistive Network algorithm, to reconstruct the interior conductivity from interior current densities. In the algorithm, the essence is to introduce a virtual resistive network onto the continuum domain. The algorithm is noniterative and has certain degrees of flexibility in use. We reconstructed the isotropic conductivity, from one interior current density and known conductivity on partial boundary, and reconstructed the orthotropic conductivity, from two pieces of current densities and known conductivity on partial boundary. Numerically simulated results with noise are presented. Various features of the algorithm against the noise was reported.

Well-posedness in anisotropic conductivity reconstruction
In the thesis, interior conductivity reconstruction problems inferring from the interior current density data are considered. It is our main result that an anisotropic conductivity reconstruction in two dimensions is well-posed. This is relevant to an application of a medical diagnosis on human organism since human organism typically has an anisotropic conductivity. In the first part of thesis,...
متن کاملVirtual Resistive Network and Conductivity Reconstruction with Faraday’s Law
Network based conductivity reconstruction method is introduced using the third Maxwell’s equation, or Faraday’s law, for a static case. The usual choice in electrical impedance tomography is the divergence free equation of the electrical current density. However, if the electrical current density is given, the curl free equation of the electrical field gives a direct relation between the curren...

We obtain the existence and the uniqueness at the same time in the reconstruction of orthotropic conductivity in two space dimensions by using two sets of internal current densities and boundary conductivity. The curl free equation of Faraday’s law is taken instead of the elliptic equation in a divergence form which is typically used in electrical impedance tomography. A reconstruction method b...

A resistive network based anisotropic resistivity reconstruction method is introduced when three sets of internal electrical currents are given. Faraday’s law is discretized using resistive networks for an anisotropic resistivity body such as a muscle or nerve fiber structure of an animal body. The resistivity tensor imaging method of this paper may provide another approach to find the fiber st...
