  • Publication number: 20190357801
    Abstract: An electromagnetic tomographic system for imaging a human head includes a base, an imaging chamber, at least one ring of antennas, a plurality of antenna controllers, and an image processing computer system. The imaging chamber is supported on the base and defines an imaging domain in which the head is received. The antennas are supported by the imaging chamber and encircle the imaging domain. Each antenna controller includes radio frequency (RF) transmitter/receiver circuitry that is connected to an antenna, an intermediate frequency (IF) stage, and a baseband (BB) data processing stage. Data representative of the measure electromagnetic signals is output by the controllers and used for image processing.

The imaging chamber is supported on the base and defines an imaging domain in which the head is received. The antennas are supported by the imaging chamber and encircle the imaging domain. Each controller comprises circuitry carried on a printed circuit board and is dedicated to a respective antenna. Each controller controls operation of a corresponding antenna. In operation, while one antenna is transmitting an electromagnetic signal into the imaging domain, a plurality of the antennas are simultaneously receiving the signal after passing through the imaging domain. The received signals of the plurality of antennas are simultaneously measured. Data representative of the measure electromagnetic signals is output by the controllers and used for image processing.

  • Publication number: 20180344165
    Abstract: An electromagnetic tomography system for gathering measurement data pertaining to a human head includes an image chamber unit, a control system, and a housing. The image chamber unit includes an antenna assembly defining a horizontally-oriented imaging chamber and including an array of antennas arranged around the imaging chamber. The antennas include at least some transmitting antennas and some receiving antennas. The control system causes the transmitting antennas to transmit a low power electromagnetic field that is received by the receiving antennas after passing through a patient's head in the imaging chamber. A data tensor is produced that may be inversed to reconstruct a 3D distribution of dielectric properties within the head and to create an image. The housing at least partially contains the antenna assembly and has a front entry opening into the imaging chamber. The head is inserted horizontally through the front entry opening and into the imaging chamber.

  • Patent number: 9724010
    Abstract: Methods and systems for 4D electromagnetic tomographic differential (dynamic) fused imaging and mapping of electrical excitation of biological tissues. A plurality of electromagnetic field sources and detectors generate and detect an electromagnetic field domain in a target area. A biological tissue is positioned within the target area, and an electromagnetic field domain is generated via a selected plurality of sources. The field generated by each source is selectively characterized so that each of a selected plurality of detectors recognizes a source of field from the plurality of sources. The sources and detectors are controlled so that fields generated by the selected sources are received by the selected detectors after interacting with the tissue. Based on the field received at each detector, a complex interference (scattering) matrix is derived from the tissue-generated field, and anatomical and functional image information are reconstructed from this matrix.
