technical field [0001] The technical solution of the invention relates to measuring the electrical conductivity of the chest cavity of a human body, in particular to a mixed variation bioelectrical impedance imaging method. Background technique [0002] Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) is a new generation of medical imaging functional technology that emerged in the past 30 years after morphology and structure imaging. According to the different electrical impedance characteristics of different tissues in the human body under different physiological and pathological conditions, a small safe excitation current or voltage is applied to the human body through the body surface electrodes, and the corresponding voltage or current signal is measured on the human body surface to reconstruct the inside of the human body The electrical impedance distribution image. Physiological function changes or pathological changes of human tissue will cause changes in the electrical impedan...
