Measurement of electric and/or magnetic properties in organisms using induced currents

Abstract

A method and apparatus use induced currents to determine an individual's bone integrity. The apparatus induces a current into an individual's bone then detects resultant electromagnetic signals using a galvanometer or other sensing mechanism. Circuits within the apparatus store and modify these signals to obtain a unique characteristic profile. To determine if the individual has bone defects, this profile is compared with stored profiles normally associated with bone fractures, breaks, and other defects.
