发明名称 ELECTROMAGNETIC TOMOGRAPHY SOLUTIONS FOR SCANNING HEAD
摘要 An electromagnetic tomography system for gathering measurement data pertaining to a human head includes an image chamber unit, a control system, and a housing. The image chamber unit includes an antenna assembly defining a horizontally-oriented imaging chamber and including an array of antennas arranged around the imaging chamber. The antennas include at least some transmitting antennas and some receiving antennas. The control system causes the transmitting antennas to transmit a low power electromagnetic field that is received by the receiving antennas after passing through a patient's head in the imaging chamber. A data tensor is produced that may be inversed to reconstruct a 3D distribution of dielectric properties within the head and to create an image. The housing at least partially contains the antenna assembly and has a front entry opening into the imaging chamber. The head is inserted horizontally through the front entry opening and into the imaging chamber.

主权项 1. An image chamber unit for gathering measurement data pertaining to a human head in an electromagnetic tomography (EMT) system, comprising: (a) an antenna assembly at least partially defining a horizontally-oriented imaging chamber and including an array of antennas arranged around the imaging chamber, the array of antennas including at least some transmitting antennas and at least some receiving antennas, wherein the transmitting antennas transmit a low power electromagnetic field, wherein the receiving antennas receive the low power electromagnetic field after passing through a human head in the imaging chamber and provide corresponding signals to a control system so as to produce a data tensor that may be inversed to reconstruct a 3D distribution of dielectric properties within the human head and thereby to create an image of the object; and (b) a housing, at least partially containing the antenna assembly, having a front entry opening into the imaging chamber; (c) wherein the head of a human patient may be inserted horizontally through the front entry opening and into the imaging chamber.
