Definitions
- the body is made up of structures that have very different physical properties which, are distributed as a function of space throughout the body cavity. Some of these structures are lungs, ribs, organs, blood, arteries, fat, etc. These structures present a non-homogeneous media to the propagation of vibrational energy. Such a non-homogenous media can make it difficult to characterize the media sufficiently to f m: focused listening beams while processing the vibrational energy emitted f om the areas of stenosis during a parametric analysis that assumes a known vibrational wave speed. This can present a problem.
- FIG. 1 Figure 4 illustrates several channels of vibrational cardiac data, according to an embodiment of the invention.
- Figure 15 illustrates an apparatus according to embodiments of the invention.
- the cross section 1 1 2 of the human presents a non-homogeneous media through which the vibrational energy 1 10 propagates and contains various structures such as ribs, lungs, organs interfaces, muscles, fat, and skin tissue indicated generally by 1 14.
- the vibrational energy propagates through the non-homogeneous media and is measured on ( he surface 1 1 1 by the array of N sensors 1 16, in one embodiment, it can be desirable to place the array of sensors 1 1 ( > over a person's heart and above a space between adjacent ribs to facilitate detection of the vibrational energy.
- a nominal duration of the entire heart waveform is .from one h undred and twenty (120) to one hundred and eighty ( 1 0) seconds and is made up of six (6) twenty (20) to thirt (30) second segments.
- FIG. 1 00531
- the M sensor array described in Figure IA, is used to measure and process vibrational cardiac energy, which is measured at the surface 1 .1 1 during the diastolic intervals, in one embodiment, such measurement and processing of the vibrational cardiac energy is used to determine whether a plaque deposits) (coronary artery lesion(s)) 108 exists in the human due to coronary arter-' disease.
