Abstract
The problem this paper addresses is how to use the two-dimensional D-bar method for electrical impedance tomography with experimental data collected on finitely many electrodes covering a portion of the boundary of a body. This requires an approximation of the Dirichlet-to-Neumann, or voltage-to-current density map, defined on the entire boundary of the region, from a finite number of matrix elements of the current-to-voltage map. Reconstructions from experimental data collected on a saline filled tank containing agar heart and lung phantoms are presented, and the results are compared to reconstructions by the NOSER algorithm on the same data.
