Abstract

This thesis presents mathematical analysis of optical and electrical impedance tomography. We introduce papers [I-III], which study these diffusive tomography methods in the situation where the examined object is contaminated with inclusions that have physical properties differing from the background.

This thesis consists of an overview and of the following 3 publications:

  1. Hyvönen N., 2002. Analysis of optical tomography with non-scattering regions. Proceedings of the Edinburgh Mathematical Society 45, number 2, pages 257-276.
  2. Hyvönen N., 2004. Complete electrode model of electrical impedance tomography: approximation properties and characterization of inclusions. SIAM Journal on Applied Mathematics 64, number 3, pages 902-931. © 2004 Society for Industrial and Applied Mathematics (SIAM). By permission.
