MEASUREMENT SYSTEM FOR EXAMINING A SECTION OF TISSUE ON A PATIENT AND THE USE OF A MEASUREMENT SYSTEM OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The invention relates to a measurement system for examining a section of tissue on a patient. Electric currents and/or voltages are applied to a patient in at least one location and are measured on the section of tissue to be examined by at least one electrode (1) of a contact surface of the measurement system. As a result, conclusions can be drawn about the interior of the section of tissue to be examined. The invention relates in particular to mammary diagnostics for detecting tumours in living human breast tissue, the electrode (1) being at least partially surrounded by a conductor element (2) for contacting with a potential which deviates from that of the conductor element (2). The invention also relates to a method for operating a measurement system of this type.
