IMPEDANCE IMAGING DEVICES AND MULTI-ELEMENT PROBE

摘要

FIELD OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to imaging systems based on the measurement of electrical potential in an array of different portions on the skin or other tissue of a patient and to multi-element probes used therein,;A plurality of individual conductive sensing elements each having a front portion suitable for contact with a tissue surface; A plurality of conductive elements providing electrical connections to each individual sensing element; When the individual probes are in contact with the tissue surface, it is characterized by consisting of partitions that separate the individual sensing elements to be electrically insulated from each other.;This provides the patient with a multi-element probe capable of minimal transmission, minimal operator practice, and constant and repetitive contact with the skin.
