\section{Introduction}
This is a \LaTeX{} template file to be used for manuscript
submissions for the 23\textsuperscript{rd} International
Conference on the Biomedical Applications of Electrical Impedance Tomography to be held in Aachen, Germany on June 12-14, 2023. Please note the general requirements:
\begin{itemize}
\item Single page of A4 paper
\item All margins at 2~cm ($0.8\,\rm in$)
\item UK English
\item Main body should be in 10pt Times font
\item Specify the Email address of at least one author specified in
	the affiliation block
\end{itemize}

\noindent {\bf The program committee requires a full 1 page submission
(rather than just a short abstract).}


\section{Methods}
The paper can be prepared in \LaTeX\ or MS Word and submitted as a
*.pdf or *.docx file. The templates can be downloaded from the
conference website: \\
\indent\href{http://eit2023.rwth-aachen.de}{\underline{http://eit2023.rwth-aachen.de}}



\subsection{Figures and tables}
Figures and tables (floats) can span one or two columns. Note
\begin{enumerate}
\item Two-column floats must be at the bottom of the page.
\item Captions appear below figures but above tables, as in
Fig.~\ref{fig:single-col} and Tab.~\ref{tbl:twocol}.
\end{enumerate}

\begin{figure}[H]
\centering
% Use the following line with your images
\includegraphics[width=.70\columnwidth]{EIT_Logo2.PNG}
\caption{\label{fig:single-col}%
Column-width figure, using the {\tt figure} environment with the {\tt [H]}
option. For full width, put the figure outside the {\tt multicols} environment.}
\label{fig:single-col}
\end{figure}

\subsection{Equations}
Equations should be placed on separate lines and numbered
\begin{equation}
x(t) = s(f_\omega(t))
\label{eq1}
\end{equation}
or less complex equations, such as the definition of a
Jacobian matrix, $J$, can be on a single line; here
each element,
 $J_{i,j}= \frac{\partial v_i}{\partial \sigma_j}$.
Larger, or more important, equations
can take the full line with; for example, according to equation \ref{eq1}, a
residue theorem states that
\begin{equation}
\oint_C F(z)dz=2 \pi j \sum_k Res[F(z),p_k],
\label{eq3}
\end{equation}
which is an important finding.


\subsubsection{References}
List and number all references at the end of the paper. The references should be
numbered in order of appearance in the document.
The reference formats for
a journal article\cite{Adler2015Why},
a book\cite{Holder2005EIT} and
conference proceedings\cite{Murphy2016Investigation}
are illustrated in the References section.

The format is compact and does not include titles for
articles. References in text should be sorted and grouped compactly, as
in\cite{Adler2015Why, Holder2005EIT, Murphy2016Investigation}.
This template places references in the a ``thebibliography''
section, but ou can also use \textsc{Bib}\TeX\ and
the {\tt compact.bst} file.

\section{Conclusions}
This paper helps you prepare for the
EIT 2023 conference, which is highly recommended.

\section{Acknowledgements}
The authors would like to express their gratitude to Alistair Boyle and Kirill Aristovich for providing them with information on previous year’s conference logistics.
