- This paper describes a novel approach to the design of a high output impedance tissue current driver circuit for medical applications; particularly in Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT). EIT is a non-invasive, radiation-free method of scanning the internal organs of the body, and as such is a cheaper, much safer and far less traumatic than more conventional methods such as X-Ray and CT scanners. This technique is being used to supplement the use of an MRI scanner in Germany. It has allowed the frequency of operation to increase from 35MHz to 70MHhz with a proportional increase in image definition.
