International Classification:

A61N 1/08
G01R 33/28
A61N 1/05
A61B 5/055

Abstract:

An electrode assembly for use in computer tomographic (CT) scans and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) procedures include lead wires of 40 gauge copper electrical conductors, free of tin, in PVC insulation attached to electrodes. The electrodes, which may also be made of silver, gold or silver chloride or be made of metal-filled or metal-coated plastic, are attached to lead wires by any of the following (1) crimping using copper or polymer crimps; (2) shrink-wrap connections or ties, (3) radio frequency welding or heat staking; or (4) using conductive adhesives. The present electrode assembly reduces artifacts in the resulting images during CT scans and MRI procedures and thereby results in clearer images.

International Classification:

A61B 5/04

Abstract:

A multi-electrode applicator includes a carrier with recesses formed in pre-selected locations on one side. Each recess carries an electrode, and optionally both an applicator and an electrode, so that, when that side of the carrier is applied to a surface, the electrodes engage the surface in their pre-selected locations. An adhesive is applied to the underside of the carrier to cause the carrier to stick to the skin surface. A release paper may be applied over the adhesive so that, when the paper is removed, the adhesive is exposed and the carrier can then be stuck to the skin. The carrier may be flat or curved, and the electrodes may be self-embedding electrodes, a stimulating- or recording-type electrode, or a ground electrode-reference electrode pair. Electrical conductor connects the electrode to a monitor directly or via a multi-pin connector.
