Technologies which see inside bodies from the outside (using X-rays, ultrasound, MRI) have revolutionized medicine and many other industries. One of the earliest ideas was to create these images with applied electrical currents. Recently improved computer algorithms have created new possibilities for electrical impedance imaging. This talk looked at the kinds of images one can make with this technology, from measuring heart pressure to fluid flows inside active volcanoes.
