Abstract
A method and apparatus for imaging the internal structure of biological tissue from a remote location using electrical impedance tomography. The method and apparatus accomplish this by separating the functions of data acquisition from those of processing and imaging, and by connecting the data acquisition, processing and imaging components through a communications network, thus permitting the data acquisition, processing and imaging functions to be carried out at disparate locations within said network.
