    • An electromagnetic bioimpedance measurement apparatus uses an alternating magnetic field to induce electrical eddy currents in biological tissue. The eddy currents produce secondary magnetic fields that have the effect of changing the mutual inductance between the tissue and the coil that applied to the initial magnetic field. The amplitude of the resultant voltage, as measured by the same coil or a different receiver coil, is proportional to the conductivity of the tissue. A simple, marginally stable oscillator circuit is used to generate the current into the coil. Nearfield holographic signal processing is then used for holographic image formation. Bioimpedance is used to distinguish between normal tissue and cancerous tissue, especially cancerous prostate tissue. An invasive embodiment includes driven needle electrodes that are inserted into the body segment to be tested. Noninvasive embodiments include single or multiple coils arranged on a probe shaft.

    • A device and method for sensing temperatures at internal body locations non-surgically accessible only through body orifices is disclosed. The device is particularly useful in medical applications such as screening for cancer and other abnormal biological activity signaled by an increase in temperature at a selected site. As applied to prostate examinations, a device is provided which may be temporarily, adhesively affixed to a user's fingertip or to a mechanical probe. In the preferred embodiment, the device includes two temperature sensing elements which may include a plurality of chemical indicators. Each indicator changes color in response to detection of a predetermined particular temperature. When properly aligned and installed, the first element is located on the palmar surface of the fingertip while the second element is located on the dorsal surface of the fingertip. After an examination glove has been donned over the fingertip carrying the device, a prostate examination is performed during which the first element is brought into constant but brief contact with the prostate region and the second element is similarly, simultaneously brought into contact with a dermal surface opposing the prostate region. Upon withdrawal of the fingertip from the rectum and removal of the glove, the two temperature sensing elements may be visually examined in order to determine the temperatures detected by each one. A significant difference in observed temperatures indicates the possibility of abnormal biological activity and the need for further diagnostic or medical procedures.
