A symmetry - based algorithm to determine the presence of the internal structure heterogeneity of the of a biological object

Abstract

This article proposes a two-level approach for solving the problems of electrical impedance tomography of biological objects, which consists in successively applying the methods of “rough” and “fine” reconstruction to the potentials measured on the surface of the object. To perform a “rough” reconstruction procedure, it is proposed to use a method for determining the presence of heterogeneity in the internal structure of a biological object based on the symmetry algorithm. Thus, consistent localization and identification of the boundaries of the heterogeneity of the internal structure of the biological object is carried out. It is shown that when analyzing data for an arbitrary biological object, the symmetry characteristic of the type of objects under study can be taken into account, and deviations from such a characteristic symmetry will indicate deviations from the norm in the structure of a biological object.
