چکیده
We consider the inverse problem of finding cavities within some body from electrostatic measurements on the boundary. By a cavity we understand any object with a different electrical conductivity than the background material of the body. We survey two algorithms for solving this inverse problem, namely the factorization method and a MUSIC-type algorithm. In particular, we present a number of numerical results to highlight the potential and the limitations of these two methods.

Recent Progress on the Factorization Method for Electrical Impedance Tomography
The Factorization Method is a noniterative method to detect the shape and position of conductivity anomalies inside an object. The method was introduced by Kirsch for inverse scattering problems and extended to electrical impedance tomography (EIT) by Brühl and Hanke. Since these pioneering works, substantial progress has been made on the theoretical foundations of the method. The necessary ass...

Computerized tomography has had a huge impact on medical diagnostics. Numerous methods of tomographic medical imaging have been developed and are being developed (e.g., the ‘standard’ X-ray, single-photon emission, positron emission, ultrasound, magnetic resonance, electrical impedance, optical) [62, 67, 84–86]. The designers of these modalities strive to increase the image resolution and contr...
