Electrical impedance and equivalent circuits of biological objects. Structure of the tissues and systems of the organism and dependence of the electrical impedance from this. Impedance of the tissues as a diagnostical variable. Methods and means for measurement of electrical bioimpedance. Direct and relative measurement in impedance diagnostics. Measurement circuits for impedance/susceptance measurement and scales. Lock-in measurement technology and microelectronic realisations of the lock-in impedance measurement devices. Determining of partial impedance. Measurement at multiple frequencies (impedance spectrometry) and simultaneous multifrequency measurements. Computional determination of parameters of the elements/components of equivalent circuit from the results of measurements. Extracting of informative components of the impedance signal. Measurement electrodes and their equivalent circuits. Applications of impedance diagnostics in cardiac and vascular diagnostics - Impedance cardiography and plethysmography. Other examples of impedance diagnostics (electro(acu)puncture, etc.). Impedance tomography. |
