EIDORS is an open-source software tool box written mainly in MATLAB/GNU Octave designed primarily for image reconstruction from electrical impedance tomography (EIT) data, in a biomedical, industrial or geophysical setting.
The project was launched in 1999 [1] with a Matlab code for 2D EIT reconstruction which had its origin in the PhD thesis of Marko Vauhkonen and the work of his supervisor Jari Kaipio at the University of Kuopio.
Instead the three dimensional version of EIDORS was developed from work done at UMIST (now University of Manchester) by Nick Polydorides and William Lionheart.
As the project grew there was a desire to incorporate forward modelling and reconstruction code from a variety of groups and Andy Adler and Lionheart developed a more extensible software system.
EIDORS has been extensively used in biomedical applications of EIT, including lung imaging,[5] measuring cardiac output.
