Abstract

A method of controlling an analysis of electromagnetic (EM) signal of a human subject. The method comprises positioning an EM transducer unit in front of a skin area above a target intrabody volume of a human subject, the EM transducer unit having at least one EM transducer, a pressure applying unit that applies a variable pressure on the skin area, and a pressure sensor, measuring at least one pressure parameter indicative of the variable pressure using the pressure sensor, capturing EM signal using the at least one EM transducer, and performing an analysis of the EM signal to infer at least one intrabody parameter of the target intrabody volume. The analysis is controlled according to the at least one pressure parameter.
