Abstract

A medical device which allows imaging of the distribution of conductivity in 3D in regions below the skin surface has been developed and tested. Its purpose is to enable early detection and preliminary diagnosis of breast tumours. Design of the measuring system and software are described. Results of clinical evaluation of the system are presented. EIT images of healthy and cancerous breasts are presented and discussed. The system is able to visualize various states of the breast and it may be possible to apply it to breast cancer detection.

摘要

一种能够对皮肤表面以下区域的电导率分布进行三维成像的医疗设备已被研发并测试。其目的是实现乳腺肿瘤的早期检测和初步诊断。文中描述了测量系统和软件的设计。展示了该系统的临床评估结果。呈现并讨论了健康乳房和患癌乳房的电阻抗断层成像（EIT）图像。该系统能够可视化乳房的各种状态，并且有可能将其应用于乳腺癌检测。
