APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR DETECTING ABNORMALITIES IN BODILY MATTER

摘要

There is disclosed electrical impendance tomography apparatus adapted to detect abnormalities in bodily matter comprising: electrical signal generating means for generating electrical signals at a plurality of frequencies; an electrode arrangement for applying the electrical signals to the bodily matter and detecting electrical impendance properties of the bodily matter; and data processing means for correlating the detected electrical impedance properties with the presence or absence of abnormalities in the bodily matter; in which electrical signals of a frequency greater than 1 MHz, preferably greater than 2 MHz, more preferably greater than 3 MHz and most preferably greater than 4 MHz are applied to the bodily matter.
