A method for electroimpedance tomography makes possible an analysis and reconstruction of an image of the electric resistance in the presence of a defect electrode (A). The method includes the steps of identifying an electrode as a defect electrode (A), which has no contact with the body, by means of an impedance measurement, of performing current feeds such that at least the defect electrode (A) is jumped over, and of determining voltage potentials in the area of the defect electrode (A) over the defect electrode (A) in such a way that the defect electrode (A) is jumped over at least once.
