摘要
The paper describes the development of an electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system for gynecologic research. The GIT (gynecological impedance tomography) system has 48 electrodes and is embedded on a small space (30 mm diameter and 20 mm height) inside of the vaginal probe. The system provides real-time (one shot per second) 3D visualization of the spatial distribution of the static electrical properties of the cervix tissue. History, advantages, disadvantages and aspects of the system development are also described. The algorithm for the tiny measuring array organization is given. New details of the backprojection method on the non-regular electrode array are discussed. Some pictures reconstructed from numerical simulated data are offered. 3D visualization of the test object and cervix is presented.
