Electromagnetic Portable Brain Imaging For Stroke

Abstract

Background: Electromagnetic imaging (EMI) is an emerging technology that transmits low energy electromagnetic waves from a ring of transceivers around the head, modified as they pass through abnormal tissue, providing unique signatures for brain pathology. It promises to provide portable, non-ionizing, rapid neuroimaging for prehospital and bedside evaluation of stroke, based on the dielectric properties of the tissue. We aimed to assess the clinical utility of EMI in stroke diagnosis in a pilot study. Methods: In a prospective, observational, open, non-interventional pilot study, patients with imaging-proven ischemic (IS) or haemorrh..
