  • Publication number: 20220287583
    Abstract: A method and apparatus of determining the condition of a bulk tissue sample, by: positioning a bulk tissue sample between a pair of induction coils (or antennae); passing a spectrum of alternating current (or voltage) through a first of the induction coils (or antennae); measuring spectrum of alternating current (or voltage) produced in the second of the induction coils (or antennae); and comparing the phase shift between the spectrum of alternating currents (or voltages) in the first and second induction coils (or antennae), thereby determining the condition of the bulk tissue sample.

  • Publication number: 20220015664
    Abstract: Volumetric Electromagnetic Phase Shift Spectroscopy (VEPS)-based methods of analyzing a tissue are provided. Aspects of the methods comprise obtaining a VEPS-based tissue classifier, or “signature” for a tissue at a single point in time. These methods find particular use in non-invasively determining the condition of a tissue, e.g. brain tissue, lung tissue, heart tissue, muscle tissue, skin tissue, kidney tissue, cornea tissue, liver tissue, abdomen tissue, head tissue, leg tissue, arm tissue, pelvis tissue, chest tissue, trunk tissue, prostate tissue, breast tissue, esophagus tissue, GI tract tissue, etc., in an individual. Devices and systems thereof that find use in practicing the subject methods are also provided.
