Experimental setup for MREIT conductivity imaging of liver phantom. (a) The whole liver was removed, and (b) the liver block was resected for phantom imaging. (c) A cylindrical acrylic phantom was filled with agarose gel of 1.0 S/m conductivity to support the liver block. (d) Electrodes were attached to the sides of the phantom to inject imaging currents.
