Abstract

A patient treatment unit for analyzing and treating abnormality of human or animal tissues, includes a display; a pulse generator circuit that outputs a sequence of electrical pulses at a pulse frequency, the electrical pulses having a pulse width, the pulse generator controlling the pulse frequency and the pulse width of the electrical pulses; a pair of probes for contacting a body of a patient and electrically coupled to the pulse generator; and a voltage and current sensing circuit that senses a voltage or a current via the probes when contacting the body of the patient.

Claims (21)

1. A method of analyzing and treating abnormality of human or animal tissues, comprising the steps of:

connecting a first probe by a first wire to a patient treatment unit;

connecting a second probe by a second wire to the patient treatment unit;

outputting a sequence of direct current electrical pulses at a pulse frequency while the first probe and the second probe are contacting a body of a patient, the first probe and the second probe being movable independently of one another while maintaining contact with the body of the patient;

adjusting the pulse frequency to a frequency not lower than 1 Hz and not higher than 30 kHz; and

sensing, using a voltage and current sensing circuit, a voltage or a current via the probes when contacting the body of the patient.

2. The method of claim 1 , wherein the first probe or the second probe includes an induction coil or both the first and second probes each includes a corresponding induction coil.

3. The method of claim 1 , wherein a peak voltage of the electrical pulses across the probes when a 5 kilo-ohm resistance is present across the probes does not exceed 30 volts.

4. The method of claim 1 , wherein a peak voltage of the electrical pulses across the probes when a 10 kilo-ohm resistance is present across the probes does not exceed 40 volts.

5. The method of claim 1 , further comprising indicating an impedance of the skin of the body of the patient as the direct current electrical pulses are being outputted to the pair of probes.

6. The method of claim 1 , further comprising displaying color changes on a display coupled to the patient treatment unit, where the color changes correspond to reactive and normal areas of the body under treatment.

7. The method of claim 6 , further comprising overlaying a two or three dimensional diagnostic image over the areas of the body under treatment.

8. The method of claim 6 , wherein the displaying is carried out on a liquid crystal display.

9. The method of claim 6 , wherein one of the probes includes a wireless induction coil.

10. The method of claim 1 , wherein the sensing is carried out simultaneously with the outputting the sequence of direct current electrical pulses.

11. The method of claim 1 , further comprising modulating a pulse width of the direct current electrical pulses by a pulse width modulation process.

12. The method of claim 1 , further comprising employing a library of tissue profiles for the patient to produce a patient-specific tissue profile.

13. The method of claim 12 , further comprising comparing the patient-specific tissue profile against a baseline of healthy tissue of at least one type.

14. The method of claim 2 , further comprising measuring magnetic resonance fluxuation using the induction coil or both of the induction coils.

15. The method of claim 1 , wherein a pulse width of the direct current electrical pulses is between 0.34 ms and 0.74 ms.

16. The method of claim 15 , further comprising modulating the pulse width of the direct current electrical pulses by a pulse width modulation process.
