Abstract

In this paper, we presented a new electrical impedance tomography (EIT) method for the early detection of breast cancer. We designed a breast phantom comprising three tumors of different sizes. We tested the reconstruction of the image of this breast using 16, 24, 32 and 40 electrodes. The electrodes were placed according to a static, adapted and dynamic mode. The quality of the reconstruction was carried out by the root mean square error (RMSE). The best result was obtained with 40-electrodes system and dynamic mode. The image reconstruction was improved by a segmentation, an edge detection by Canny filter and a morphological closure filter. This system allowed the detection of a T1 tumor.
