A level set method to reconstruct the discontinuity of the conductivity in EIT

In this paper, one level set method is applied to finding the interface of discontinuity of the conductivity in EIT(electrical impedance tomography) problem. By choosing one suitable velocity function, a level set reconstruction algorithm is proposed. The theoretical results for EIT problem and regularization are given. Finally the numerical examples demonstrate that the reconstruction algorithm is efficient and stable.
