Abstract

The aim of this thesis is to develop noise robust electrical properties tomography (EPT) reconstruction methods that are free from tissue transition artifacts to support clinical applications for complex tissue structures such as the brain. In particular the contrast-source inversion approach is pursued. This focus of this thesis is on the reconstruction of the electrical properties from the transmit field of radiofrequency coils most frequently available in magnetic resonance imaging.
