LOCATING FEATURES IN HEART USING RADIO FREQUENCY IMAGING

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide improved devices and methods for detecting features inside a living body using RF imaging techniques.SOLUTION: A diagnostic apparatus 20 includes an antenna 32, which is configured to direct radio frequency (RF) electromagnetic waves into a living body and to generate signals in response to the waves that are scattered from within the body. Processing circuitry 36 is configured to process the signals so as to locate a feature in a blood vessel in the body.
