Conductivity imaging with interior potential measurements

Current methods for detecting breast cancer are invasive, expensive, non-portable, and uncomfortable for the patient; they also do not allow continuous screening, and produce numerous false positives. In response, this international research collaboration developed a novel EIT device and two non-iterative reconstruction methods which can be used for continuous screening of breast cancer; the paper focuses on reconstructions from simulated data. The device is low-cost, portable, and when fully developed will revolutionise the ongoing monitoring of breast cancer patients. The research has been presented in one invited talk (IP:MS 2010) and one research seminar (Warwick), and has been cited twice.
