WEARABLE/MAN-PORTABLE ELECTROMAGNETIC TOMOGRAPHIC IMAGING

摘要

A system for wearable/man-portable electromagnetic tomographic imaging includes wearable headgear adapted to receive a human head within, a position determination system, electromagnetic transmitting/receiving hardware, and a computer system. The electromagnetic transmitting/receiving hardware collectively generates an electromagnetic field that passes into the headgear and receives the electromagnetic field after being scattered/interferenced by the human head within. The computer system performs electromagnetic tomographic imaging based on the received electromagnetic field.

1. A system for wearable/man-portable electromagnetic tomographic imaging, comprising:
wearable headgear, adapted to receive a human head within walls that are made at least partly of a material that is non-transparent with respect to the generated electromagnetic field and that include a plurality of electromagnetic windows that are each independently opened or closed via a respective microgate; electromagnetic transmitting/receiving hardware collectively configured to generate an electromagnetic field that passes into the headgear through at least one open electromagnetic window and receives the electromagnetic field passing out of at least one open electromagnetic window after being scattered/interferenced by the human head within; a position determination system configured to determine position information pertaining to the wearable headgear with respect to an external frame of reference, wherein the external frame of reference includes a location of the transmitting/receiving hardware or the location of the transmitting/receiving hardware is established relative to the external frame of reference; a computer system configured to perform electromagnetic tomographic imaging based upon the generated and received electromagnetic field, upon position information from the position determination system, and upon spatial location information for each of the open electromagnetic windows; wherein the spatial location information for each of the electromagnetic windows is defined with respect to the headgear, the external frame of reference, and/or the transmitting/receiving hardware.
