Fig. 5 Layout of the electrode array of the Mainz EIT device. The small circles labelled from 1 to 12 show the outer electrodes for current injection. The position of the 54 inner electrodes for potential measurements are drawn as thick points (marked in blue). The network is used as a model of the measurement area. The positions 1, 2 and 3 (marked in red) indicate the places above the sensing head where metallic objects were immersed in conducting liquid for the experimental set-up described in Figure , while the positions 4 and 5 (marked in yellow) indicate the places where an agar phantom was placed.
