Electrical impedance tomography (EIT) is medical imaging technique in which small electrical signals are used to map the electrical impedance distribution within the body. It is safe and non-invasive, which make it attractive for use in continuous monitoring or outpatient applications, but the high cost of commercial devices is an impediment to its adoption. Over the last 10 years, many research groups have developed their own EIT devices, but few designs for open-source EIT hardware are available.

To support development of EIT measurement systems, a phantom is required that represents the electrical characteristics of the imaging domain. No existing type of EIT phantom combines good performance in all three characteristics of resistivity resolution, spatial resolution, and stability.
