Abstract
In an APT method, the surface-contact electrodes are located in a closed loop or rosette array on one planar, or nominally planar, skin surface of a body to be investigated, and electrically connected to data acquisition and processing equipment. The invention also includes apparatus for carrying out this method, comprising an array of surface-contact electrodes (8), adapted to be applied to the skin of a body to be investigated, the electrodes (8) being arranged on a flexible carrier (10) in a closed loop, or rosette formation on one common plane, or nominal plane.
