Abstract
A WO dimensional. 16-electrode Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) system has been simulated using PSPICE to determine whether EIT can be used as a screening technique for early breast cancer detection. Simulation results show that a tumor of area of 1% of the cross-sectional breast model area produces more than 4% variation in the voltage magnitude at the surface electrodes when compared to the voltages for a normal breast. This variation is observed for the optimum current injecting and reference electrode positions.
