Abstract
The finite element method is a numerical technique
used to solve forward models for electrical impedance tomography.
To date, realistic finite element models (FEMs) have
been created for the head and thorax, but pelvic models for
bladder imaging are lacking. This paper presents a high quality,
first-order, tetrahedral FEM of 25004 nodes and 129157
elements for the adult male pelvis, with mean and standard
deviation stretch values of 0.752 and 0.082, respectively.
