Claim:
1. A method of using an electromagnetic tomography (EMT) system to generate a data tensor for imaging a human head, comprising: (a) providing an image chamber unit that includes: (b) positioning a human patient, the human patient having a head, horizontally on a patient support; (c) inserting the head of the patient horizontally through the front entry opening and into the imaging chamber; and (d) using a control system, causing the transmitting antennas to transmit a low power electromagnetic field that is received by the receiving antennas after passing through the patient's head in the imaging chamber and producing a data tensor, from resulting signals, that may be inversed to reconstruct a 3D distribution of dielectric properties within the human head and thereby to create an image of the patient's head.
