Abstract: We consider the hybrid problem of reconstructing the isotropic electric conductivity of a body Omega from interior Current Density Imaging data obtainable using MRI measurements. We only require knowledge of the magnitude |J| of one current generated by a given voltage f on the boundary partialOmega. As previously shown, the corresponding voltage potential u in Omega is a minimizer of the weighted least gradient problem [u=hbox{argmin} {int_{Omega}a(x)| abla u|: u in H^{1}(Omega), u|_{partial Omega}=f},] with a(x)=|J(x)|. In this paper we present an alternating split Bregman algorithm for treating such least gradient problems, for ainL2(Omega) non-negative and finH1/2(partialOmega). We give a detailed convergence proof by focusing to a large extent on the dual problem. This leads naturally to the alternating split Bregman algorithm. The dual problem also turns out to yield a novel method to recover the full vector field J from knowledge of its magnitude, and of the voltage f on the boundary. We then present several numerical experiments that illustrate the convergence behavior of the proposed algorithm.
