Objective  To summarize the basic principle of electrical impedance spectrum technology and the latest progress in the diagnosis of thyroid carcinoma.
Methods  By the domestic and overseas literatures review, medical application and diagnostic prospect in thyroid carcinoma of electrical impedance spectrum were summarized.
Results  Electrical impedance spectrum was a kind of somatic function imaging, whose measurement results was objective, and it could diagnose thyroid carcinoma in early stage effectively. In addition, it could be used as a complementary form of fine needle aspiration biopsy, improving the diagnostic accuracy rate of thyroid carcinoma, thereby reducing the unessential thyroid operations.
Conclusion  Electrical impedance spectrum technology is a potentially useful imaging modality for diagnosing thyroid carcinoma in early stage, and functions as a auxiliary clinical diagnosis method for fine needle aspiration biopsy.
