The process of introducing a needle into biological tissues is associated with certain difficulties, and therefore there are frequent cases of post-injection complications. The range of possible consequences is very diverse and large, including the risk of developing infectious complications. That is why the development of innovative devices for visualizing the position of the needle in biological tissues is one of the most crucial tasks in the development of medical equipment and technology. To achieve this goal, the most promising is the electrical impedance method.

Objective – determination of the optimal electrode system for electrical impedance navigation in biological tissues.

The obtained values of the optimal geometrical parameters of electrode systems will be used in the development of a biotechnical system for controlling the position of the needle.

The requirements for the geometric characteristics of electrode systems to ensure the most efficient and accurate probing of the studied tissues by the electrical impedance method are determined. Results were confirmed by the numerical and experimental studies.
