根据世界卫生组织的报告，世界上大约四分之三的人口无法获得医疗成像。此外，在发展中国家，超过50%的医疗设备，是可用的是不被使用，因为它是太复杂或年久失修，或因为卫生人员没有受过训练，使用it.The本研究的目标是介绍和证明的可行性，一个新的概念，在医学成像，是集中在手机技术，这可能会提供一个解决方案，在医疗成像服务不足的地区。新系统用一种新的医疗成像系统取代了传统的独立医疗成像设备，该系统由两个独立的组件通过蜂窝电话技术连接而成。这些独立单位是：a）在远程患者位置处的数据采集设备（DAD），其简单，具有有限的控制并且没有图像显示能力，以及B）在中央位置处的高级图像重建和硬件控制多服务器单元。蜂窝电话技术从患者部位DAD传输未经处理的原始数据，并从中心部位接收和显示经处理的图像。(This不同于传统的远程医疗，在传统的远程医疗中，图像重建和控制在患者部位，并且远程通信用于从患者部位传输处理后的图像）。本研究的主要目标是证明蜂窝电话技术可以在所提出的模式下发挥作用。使用一种新的频分复用电阻抗断层成像系统，我们已经开发的动态医学成像，作为医学成像模式的概念的可行性证明。该系统用于在医学成像诊断模式下通过蜂窝电话对乳腺癌肿瘤的模拟进行成像，并且在医学成像介入模式下对具有不可逆电穿孔的微创组织消融进行成像。
According to World Health Organization reports, some three quarters of the world population does not have access to medical imaging. In addition, in developing countries over 50% of medical equipment that is available is not being used because it is too sophisticated or in disrepair or because the health personnel are not trained to use it. The goal of this study is to introduce and demonstrate the feasibility of a new concept in medical imaging that is centered on cellular phone technology and which may provide a solution to medical imaging in underserved areas. The new system replaces the conventional stand-alone medical imaging device with a new medical imaging system made of two independent components connected through cellular phone technology. The independent units are: a) a data acquisition device (DAD) at a remote patient site that is simple, with limited controls and no image display capability and b) an advanced image reconstruction and hardware control multiserver unit at a central site. The cellular phone technology transmits unprocessed raw data from the patient site DAD and receives and displays the processed image from the central site. (This is different from conventional telemedicine where the image reconstruction and control is at the patient site and telecommunication is used to transmit processed images from the patient site). The primary goal of this study is to demonstrate that the cellular phone technology can function in the proposed mode. The feasibility of the concept is demonstrated using a new frequency division multiplexing electrical impedance tomography system, which we have developed for dynamic medical imaging, as the medical imaging modality. The system is used to image through a cellular phone a simulation of breast cancer tumors in a medical imaging diagnostic mode and to image minimally invasive tissue ablation with irreversible electroporation in a medical imaging interventional mode.
