Description
We introduce a new reconstruction algorithm for EIT, which provides a connection between EIT and traditional X-ray tomography, based on the idea of "virtual X-rays". We divide the exponentially ill-posed and nonlinear inverse problem of EIT into separate steps. We start by mathematically calculating so-called virtual X-ray projection data from the DN map. Then, we perform explicit algebraic operations and one-dimensional integration, ending up with a blurry and nonlinearly transformed Radon sinogram. We use a neural network to learn the nonlinear deconvolution-like operation. Finally, we can compute a reconstruction of the conductivity using the inverse Radon transform. We demonstrate the method with simulated data examples.
