The present invention is a system for use in creating images of portions of human tissue inside the body by electrical impedance tomography. The system may comprise at least one flexible tube for insertion in the body in proximity to a targeted portion of human tissue in the body, an inflatable balloon removably attached to the distal end of the flexible tube, a first array of electrodes attached to the surface of the inflatable balloon for at least one of injecting current into the targeted portion of human tissue and receiving current that was injected into the targeted portion of human tissue, and a second array of electrodes for at least one of injecting current into the targeted portion of human tissue to the first array of electrodes and for receiving current from the first array of electrodes.
