Abstract: A medical device and a method for diagnosing a diseased condition of tissue of a subject using a plurality of laterally spaced apart electrodes, the method including initiating an impedance measurement session including passing an electrical current through the electrodes to obtain values of skin impedance of a target tissue region, and applying a trained evaluation procedure for diagnosis of the diseased condition in the target tissue region on the basis of the measured data set of impedance values. The trained evaluation procedure extracts impedance data from the impedance spectra from obtained data sets of impedance values reflecting tissue characteristics of a lesion; evaluates the obtained data set of impedance to provide a first outcome indicating a probability of a diseased condition; and re-evaluates the first outcome based on the extracted impedance data and data related to underlying structure to provide a second outcome indicating a probability of a diseased condition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a stripline arrangement (10?) comprising a number of stripline layers each comprising a laminate layer (1A, 1B) and conducting layers (2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) provided on each of said laminate layers (1A, 1B), said conducting layers (2A, 2B, 3A, 3B) each comprising a conductive pattern, RF signal (microwave) input and output ports respectively, and an interconnecting arrangement (5) for interconnecting said layers. At least two of said stripline layers are arranged such that a given overlapping zone (L?) is provided between each other facing conducting layers (2A, 2B) of said striplines layers, said interconnecting arrangement (5) comprising a bonding arrangement provided between adjacent and one another facing and overlapping conducting layers (2A, 2B).

Abstract: The invention relates to a microwave transmission arrangement (10) comprising a carrier substrate (1), with a microstrip transmission line, on a first side of the carrier substrate (1), said carrier substrate (1) comprising at least one opening (2; 2?) forming a waveguide input/output opening to a waveguide arrangement.
