A method for measuring an intracranial fluid bioimpedance in a patient's head, to help detect an abnormality, may involve: securing a volumetric integral phase-shift spectroscopy (VIPS) device to the patient's head; measuring the intracranial fluid bioimpedance with the VIPS device by measuring a phase shift between a magnetic field transmitted from a transmitter on one side of a VIPS device and a magnetic field received at a receiver on another side of the VIPS device, at one or more frequencies; and detecting an abnormality in the intracranial bioimpedance fluid, using a processor in the VIPS device.

Aspects of the present disclosure generally pertain to a magnetic field sensor with flex coupling structures. Aspects of the present disclosure are more specifically directed toward Nanoscale Superconducting Quantum Interference Devices (nanoSQUIDs) with very low white flux noise characteristics can be fashioned into very sensitive magnetic field sensors by using external structures to increase the amount of flux that passes through the nanoSQUID aperture. Aspects of the present disclosure are also directed toward a magnetic flux pickup that can be coupled to a SQUID or nanoSQUID and incorporates an input coil made of a superconducting tape, which may be embodied in an electronic device for sensing magnetic fields, or more specifically an application specific electronic device for sensing a sensed property such as for geophysical sensing or biomedical imaging.

A novel medical device that utilizes, for diagnosis and other medical uses, the detection of emitted radiofrequency (RF) signals experimentally shown as spontaneously emitted by a non-equilibrium population of spin polarized electrons in chiral media during their relaxation to equilibrium. The emitted RF signals correspond to the Zeeman spin-flip energy of electrons under the influence of a magnetic field (MF), which in the absence of an external MF are too difficult to detect. Using a larger MF shifts the low energy, low frequency RF emission of spin polarized electrons to a higher RF power emission wave characterized by a fixed resonant frequency. The detection of these higher RF power emissions is relatively easy using conventional MF magnet sources and antenna receiver technology.

An electromagnetic tomographic system for imaging a human head includes a base, an imaging chamber, at least one ring of antennas, a plurality of antenna controllers, and an image processing computer system. The imaging chamber is supported on the base and defines an imaging domain in which the head is received. The antennas are supported by the imaging chamber and encircle the imaging domain.
