  • Method for mapping internal body tissue
    Patent number: 6529759
    Abstract: A method for mapping internal body tissue. The method preferably includes determining the spatial distribution of bone tissue of a patient that shields target soft tissue, the structure of which it is desired to determine and monitor, and subjecting the patient to changing electric, magnetic or electromagnetic fields adapted for interacting with the target soft tissue as a function of the spatial distribution of the soft tissue. Electric, magnetic or electromagnetic energy that is transmitted through the bone and the soft tissue is analyzed to infer the spatial distribution of the soft tissue with the assistance of knowledge of the spatial distribution of the bone tissue.
