Abstract:
The rules of conductance parameters on diseased breast tissue, which change with the driven frequency, are studied by use of electrical impedance scanning. This work is intended to provide a basis for further examination of breast. We have obtained conductance parameters' frequency characteristic of three kinds of breast diseases, i.e. invasive ductal carcinoma, neoplastic hyperplasia, and mastopathia. And by comparison, we find that the frequency characteristic of the diseased breast tissues is different from that of the peripheral normal tissues, and the frequency characteristic shows differences among the three kinds of diseased breast tissues. So, we are able to identify the kind of breast disease by its frequency characteristic.
