Assignee: VIRGINIA TECH INTELLECTUAL PROPERTIES, INC.
Field: Measurement (Instruments)
Classification: CPC A  G | IPC A  G

Claim 17:
18. A system comprising:
a waveform generator;
an impedance analyzer; and
a treatment probe comprising an elongated member and configured to operatively couple to the waveform generator and the impedance analyzer, wherein the treatment probe comprises:
i) one or more electrodes configured to deliver electrical energy to a tissue; and
ii) one or more impedance sensors configured to measure impedance within two different frequency ranges, wherein a first frequency range is 0.001 Hz to 1 kHz and a second frequency range is about 0.1 MHz to 100 GHz; wherein the impedance analyzer is configured for operable communication with the one or more impedance sensors to measure the impedance; and

wherein the waveform generator is further configured for delivering the electrical energy to the one or more electrodes and for delivering an electrical signal to the one or more impedance sensors.
