Rudimentary deep tissue imaging through a wearable real-time monitoring system

We present a novel wearable monitoring system to image the dielectric properties of internal body tissues pixel-by-pixel, and effectively determine irregularities in real-time. The proposed system consists of a flexible wearable sensor and a dielectric constant extraction technique. A set of on-body electrodes is employed to obtain scattering parameters used to extract the electrical properties of the underlying tissues at 40 MHz. Preliminary results show that accuracies as high as 6.75% can be achieved. Using this sensor, tissue abnormalities can be identified unobtrusively for a wide range of applications.
