Abstract

In this paper, a series of experiments using the existing Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system was performed to evaluate the effectiveness of EIT for early breast cancer detection. The agar-based breast phantom was used for the experiments. In the initial testing with a single tumor, the EIT setup successfully identified the location of the tumor. The system was further tested with two and three tumors and was able to differentiate multiple tumors with precision. In a control test, in which no tumor was present, the system was able to distinguish between normal and abnormal tissue conductivity, confirming its ability to detect abnormalities. The results indicate that the EIT imaging setup is a promising tool for early breast cancer diagnosis.
