ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE IMAGING

摘要

Described herein is an electrical impedance scanner, comprising: a first planar plate comprising a plurality of excitation cells; a second planar plate comprising a plurality of detector cells; the first planar plate held in spaced parallel relation to the second planar plate and defining a chamber therebetween; the first and second planar plates arranged to align each excitation cell with a corresponding detector cell in a one-to-one paired relationship; and each paired excitation cell and detector cell configured for synchronized activation with an electric field communicating therebetween. Systems incorporating the scanner and methods relating to use of the scanner are also described.
