Multi-receiver combination method for phase-based electrical property tomography of the breast

Phase-based electrical property tomography (EPT) is a technique that allows conductivity reconstruction with only phase of theTo develop a method for multi-receiver combination for phase-based EPT usable for breast EPT imaging in the clinic.Theory of the proposed method is presented. To validate the proposed method, the phantom and in-vivo experiments were conducted. Conductivity images were reconstructed using the transceive phase of the combined image and results were compared with another combination method.the proposed method's conductivity results were more stable than those of the previous method whenThe proposed method produced more stable multi-receiver combination for phase-based EPT of the breast in a clinical environment.
