DETECTION AND ANALYSIS OF SPATIALLY VARYING FLUID LEVELS USING MAGNETIC SIGNALS
A device for detecting spatial differences in fluid level changes in a tissue of a patient may include a support structure for securing the device to a body part of the patient, a processing element operably connected to the support structure, a wireless networking interface operably connected to the support structure and in communication with the processing element and an external computing device via a network, a first transmission module operably connected to the support structure and in communication with the processing element, a second transmission module and a third transmission module operably connected to the support structure and in communication with the processing element. When activated, the first transmission module transmits a first time varying magnetic field through the tissue of the patient. The second and third transmission modules, which are spatially separated from one another, receive first and second versions, respectively, of the first time varying magnetic field.

LOCATING ABLATED TISSUES USING ELECTRIC PROPERTIES TOMOGRAPHY
The invention provides for a medical system (100, 300, 400, 500) comprising: a memory (110) for storing machine executable instructions (150) and a processor (104) for controlling the medical system. Execution of the machine executable instructions cause the processor to: receive (200) first electric properties tomography data (152) descriptive of a first spatially dependent mapping (166) of an RF electrical property within a region of interest (310) of a subject (318), wherein the RF electrical property is a real valued permittivity or real valued conductivity; receive (202) second electric properties tomography data (154) descriptive of a second spatially dependent mapping (168) of the spatially dependent RF electrical property within the region of interest of the subject; calculate (204) a change (160) in the spatially dependent RF electrical property derived from a difference between the first electric properties tomography data and the second electric properties tomography data; and calculate (206) a spatially dependent ablation map (164) by indicating regions within the region of interest where the change in the spatially dependent RF electrical property is above a predetermined threshold.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR ASSESSING THE EFFICACY OF NEUROMODULATION THERAPY
Systems and methods for performing and assessing neuromodulation therapy are disclosed herein. One method for assessing the efficacy of neuromodulation therapy includes positioning a neuromodulation catheter at a target site within a renal blood vessel of a human patient and delivering neuromodulation energy at the target site with the neuromodulation catheter. The method can further include obtaining a measurement related to a dimension of the renal blood vessel via a sensing element of the neuromodulation catheter. The measurement can be compared to a baseline measurement related to the dimension of the renal blood vessel to assess the efficacy of the neuromodulation therapy. In some embodiments, the baseline measurement is obtained via the sensing element of the neuromodulation catheter prior to delivering the neuromodulation energy.
