  • Three-dimensional impedance imaging device
    Patent number: 8010187
    Abstract: In a method of electrical impedance tomography (EIT), a mediating fluid provides electrical contact between the electrodes of an EIT device and the skin of a body part to be examined. The height of the fluid is raised or lowered between impedance measurements, enabling tomographic images of the tissue under examination to be resolved mathematically for subsequent viewing. Tomographic planes are isolated by calculating differences between Cartesian models generated from impedance values measured at the plane of interest and at an adjacent plane.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: January 23, 2009
    Date of Patent: August 30, 2011
    Assignee: The Trustees of the Stevens Institute of Technology
    Inventors: Katherine Freed, Megan Calderia, Rachel Ostroff, Esther Eubanks, Rainer Martini, Vikki Hazelwood
