  • Electrical impedance myography
    Patent number: 10898100
    Abstract: Electrical impedance myography (EIM) can be used for the assessment and diagnosis of muscular disorders. EIM includes applying an electrical signal to a region of tissue and measuring a resulting signal. A characteristic of the region of tissue is determined based on the measurement. Performing EIM at different frequencies and/or different angular orientations with respect to a muscle can aid in the assessment and diagnosis. Devices are described that facilitate assessment and diagnosis using EIM.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 17, 2015
    Date of Patent: January 26, 2021
    Assignees: Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Inc., Northeastern University
    Inventors: Seward B. Rutkove, Carl A. Shiffman, Ronald Aaron
