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.
