Abstract
Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a promising medical imaging technique used to detect the body's internal electrical characteristics based on electrical measurements made on its surface. EIT systems, particularly those that use parallel, multiple source architectures, require current sources with very high output impedance. This is a usual challenge for EIT as the practical current sources come with finite output impedance, which is highly degraded as the operation frequency gets wider. To overcome this challenge and maintain the high output impedance requirement, sources often use complex analog circuits which require manual or electronically-controlled adjustments.
