Abstract
The invention generally relates to systems for measuring impedance change in order to detect a condition. In certain aspects, the invention provides systems for monitoring tissue and detecting a condition that include at least one energy source, a transduction unit, and a pattern recognition component that compares impedance signatures recorded from the transduction unit with a database of impedance signatures associated with medical conditions.
