Device for Intra-Cavity Measurement of Mechanical Impedance of Biological Tissue

Abstract

Analysis of infantile death- and illness-rate testifies that the majority of pathological cases are formed rather long prior to child’s birth and they are mainly interconnected with a mother’s illness. In order to measure the level of uterus cervix softening with measuring its mechanical impedance authors of the paper propose a device that consists of control probe, measuring block, automated system for tracing measurement methodology, calculation of the obtained results and block of data recording.
