Abstract: The problem of electrical impedance tomography in a bounded three-dimensional domain with a piecewise constant electrical conductivity is considered. The boundary of the inhomogeneity is assumed to be unknown. The inverse problem is to determine the surface that is the boundary of the inhomogeneity from given measurements of the potential and its normal derivative on the outer boundary of the domain. An iterative method for solving the inverse problem is proposed, and numerical results are presented.

Key words: electrical impedance tomography problem, piecewise constant conductivity, unknown boundary, inverse problem, iterative method.
