摘要

This article discusses a bioimpedance device (mammograph) supporting detection of the risk of neoplasms in the mammary gland during large-scale screening investigations or at home. The results of electrodynamic modeling of the mammary gland with abnormalities in its structure are presented, demonstrating that the spatial locations of neoplasms depending on their size and depth can be assessed. The work shows that the shielding effect of biological breast tissue by the skin can be reduced by application of a high-conductivity medical gel to the contacts of the measuring matrix of the device. Creating an area of increased electrical conductivity of the skin beneath the contacts allows the sensitivity of the bioimpedance mammograph to be increased.
