✦ Synopsis

We give criteria for the distinguishability of two different conductivity distributions inside a body by electric current computed tomography (ECCT) systems with a specified precision.It is shown in a special case how these criteria can be used to deter- mine the measurement precision needed to distinguish between two different conductivity distributions.It is also shown how to select the patterns of current to apply to the body in order to best distinguish given conductivity distributions with an ECCT system of finite precision.
