Electrical impedance tomography system

An electrical impedance tomography (EIT) system for determining electric properties of an internal body part of a patient comprising:

• an electrode array locatable in electrical contact with the body of a patient;
• a device for applying an electrical current or voltage between two or more electrodes of the electrode array and for measuring at least one of generated electrical voltages or currents between other pair combinations of the electrode array;
• a computing unit comprising a data processor and a storage unit, the storage unit comprising at least one reconstruction algorithm for use by the data processor for reconstructing measured electrical voltages of the body part into at least one of electrical properties or changes of electrical properties, the data processor adapted to output a representation of the reconstructed electrical properties, and to generate or process a plurality of anatomical models descriptive of the body part;
• and
• an input interface for inputting biometric data of the patient for use by the data processor, the data processor adapted to select one of the plurality of anatomical models on account of the biometric data of the patient and to use the selected model of the plurality of anatomical models for reconstructing the measured electrical voltages of the body part into electrical properties or changes of electrical properties.
