1. An electrode belt for carrying out electrodiagnostic procedures on the human body, the electrode belt comprising:

  • a plurality of connection elements;

    a multicore cable, said plurality of connection elements being positioned along said multicore cable, one connection element being located at a spaced location from another connection element, each connection element being connected to a lead of said multicore cable;

    a belt formed at least partially of an elastic material and having a length for surrounding the body of a test subject, said belt being movable from a relaxed state to a stretched state, said belt having a first length in said relaxed state, said belt having a second length in said stretched state, said second length being greater than said first length;

    a plurality of electrodes connected to the belt for being in flat contact with the body of the test subject, each electrode being positioned along said belt at a spaced location from an adjacent electrode, said elastic material being provided between adjacent electrodes with each electrode moving relative to said adjacent electrode when said belt moves from said relaxed state to said stretched state, whereby said electrodes carry out an electroimpedance tomography procedure in said stretched state; and

    a plurality of contact means each for mechanically and electrically connecting and mechanically and electrically disconnecting from a respective one of said connection elements, each contact means extending from a respective one of said electrodes through said belt to a position located outside of said belt, each of said connection elements having a retaining means for mechanically and electrically connecting to one of said contact means, said retaining means being flexible to generate a snap in retaining function as said contact means is inserted into said retaining means, whereby each contact means is mechanically and electrically connected to said multicore cable via said retaining means.
