Abstract
An electrical impedance tomography device () includes an electrode array, including a plurality of electrodes () arranged spaced apart from one another, a signal feed unit () and a signal acquisition unit (). A calculation and control unit () is configured to determine a current elliptical circumferential shape (') of the electrode array on a thorax () of a human being and to provide a control signal (), which indicates the elliptical circumferential shape () of the electrode array. The calculation and control unit () may be configured as a central unit or an array of distributed units (cloud computing) in order to determine and to provide the current elliptical circumferential shape (′).
