Over the last 40 years it has led to much beautiful mathematics, but the very features that make the mathematical foundation of EIT, the Calderon inverse problem, so interesting mathematically also makes the images EIT produces very blurry. I will describe some of the underlying analysis, and work in progress on using some old ideas from PDE to try to apply EIT to stroke diagnosis.
