EIT （electrical impedance tomography） problem should be represented by a group of partial differential equation, in numerical calculation： the nonlinear problem should be linearization approximately, and then linear equations set is obtained, so EIT image reconstruct problem should be considered as a classical ill-posed, ill-conditioned, linear inverse problem. Its biggest problem is the number of unknown is much more than the number of the equations, this result in the low imaging quality. Especially, it can not imaging in center area. For this problem, we induce the CS technique into EIT image reconstruction algorithm. The main contributions in this paper are： firstly, built up the relationship between CS and EIT definitely; secondly, sparse reconstruction is a critical step in CS, built up a general sparse regularization model based on EIT; finally, gives out some EIT imaging models based on sparse regularization method. For different scenarios, compared with traditional Tikhonov regularization （smooth regularization） method, sparse reconstruction method is not only better at anti-noise, and imaging in center area, but also faster and better resolution.
