Abstract
Apparatus for determining the electrical conductivity of target cervical tissue using magnetic impedance spectroscopy comprising: an excitation coil for producing a magnetic field which is capable of inducing currents in the target cervical tissue; a gradiometer for detecting perturbations in said magnetic field caused by said induced currents, the gradiometer including screening means for minimising sensitivity to tissues other than the target tissue; processing means for determining an electrical conductivity of said target cervical tissue from said perturbations.
