Title:
ELECTRICAL IMPEDANCE TOMOGRAPHY DEVICE
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2015/083958
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an electrical impedance tomography device capable of enabling a user to diagnose the presence or absence of a disease at an early stage by detecting electrical characteristics of the inside of a subject to be tested, the device comprising: photographing patches which have a plurality of electrodes coming into contact with the skin to apply an electrical signal, and which measure the electrical signal outputted between the skin and the electrodes; and an external device for receiving the electrical signal measured by the photographing patches, restoring the electrical signal into a three-dimensional tomographic image, and then displaying the tomographic image. According to the electrical impedance tomography device of the present invention, soft electrodes are directly attached to the surface of the skin such that a large number of electrodes can be stably connected without discomfort, all of the electronic functions can be provided through a single semiconductor chip such that the entire device can be manufactured in the shape of a general brassiere, and data collection and image processing and analysis can be performed by a simple operation through an application of a smartphone or a tablet computer.
