This short note considerably simplifies a reconstruction method by the author (Garde, 2020), for reconstructing piecewise constant layered conductivities (PCLC) from partial boundary measurements in electrical impedance tomography. Theory from monotonicity-based reconstruction of extreme inclusions eliminates most of the bookkeeping related to multiple components of each layer, and also simplifies the involved test operators. Moreover, the method no longer requires a priori lower and upper bounds to the unknown conductivity values.
