Reconfigurable array for positioning medical sensors

摘要

A device for noninvasively measuring energy emissions in the human chest. This device includes first and second spaced longitudinal flexible supports. At least one transverse support means extends between the said first and second spaced longitudinal supports. A plurality of sensor means positioned in a spaced transverse array on the transverse support. This device is an array based measurement system that minimizes the effect of rib interaction on the space-time field of the human thorax. This array-based measurement system is noninvasive so there is almost no patient risk.
