 PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 15 Electrical Impedance Tomography Electrode system optimization design and simulation studies [Abstract] EIT electrode system of the whole EIT system, the most sensitive and critical part of the. This line electrode potential point of coercion on the basis of the model, representing a compound electrode, for example, proposes a design of electrode structure and parameter optimization method, and the establishment of the electrode structure parameter optimization design and simulation research platform. Can be for different electrode structure and the various parameters is given its EIT image quality and detection sensitivity of the impact of optimizing the design, so as to practical EIT electrode structure design of the system provides a theoretical basis. [Keywords:] EIT electrode; electrode structure; coercion potential point model; simulation studies; optimal design [Abstract] The electrode system is one of the most sensitive and crucial parts in EIT system. In this paper a method for EIT electrode structure and parameter optimizing design, taking example for compound electrode, has been presented, which is based on the coercive equipotential node model of the line electrode. An imitation research platform of electrode structure and parameter optimizing design has been developed. By the methods, the variety influences of electrode structure and parameters on reconstructed image and measurement sensitivity can be obtained. This will provide theory basis for the electrode construction optimizing design of real EIT system. [Keywords:] EIT electrode; electrode structure; coercive equipotential node model; imitation research; optimizing design Electrical impedance tomography (EIT, Electrical Impedance Tomography) is a biomedical engineering major research today one of the topics. It is the second form, structure imaging, after it emerged in the last two decades a new generation of more effective functional imaging techniques [
