COMBINED IMPEDANCE IMAGING AND MAMMOGRAPHY

摘要

A probe (40) for impedance imaging comprising: a plurality of conductive elements (500) adapted to contact tissue of a subject; a plurality of conductive wires (504) connecting the conductive elements to an external connector (506); and one or more non-conductive materials (502), wherein the x-ray absorbance of the non-conductive materials (502), in at least some of the surface areas of the probe, is a function of the x-ray absorbance of the conductive wires (504) and elements (500) in the same surface area, such that the probe (40) has substantially the same x-ray absorbance over most of the surface area of the probe.
