Determination of abdominal fat thickness using dual electrode separation in the focused impedance method (FIM).
Subcutaneous fat layer thickness in the abdomen is a risk indicator of several diseases and disorders like diabetes and heart problems and could be used as a measure of fitness. Skinfold measurement using mechanical calipers is simple but prone to error. Ultrasound scanning techniques are yet to be established as accurate methods for this purpose. magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and computed t...
متن کاملFast impedance measurement method using Laplace transformation
The paper presents the impedance measurement method using a real-life step pulse as a perturbation signal and Laplace transformation as a tool for analyzing the response of the object under test. The method is addressed to explore different technical object (like anticorrosion coatings, gas sensors, ceramics, dielectrics biological tissues etc.) when the measurement time cannot be long. The pre...
متن کاملA new simple method for the measurement of visceral fat accumulation by bioelectrical impedance.
W e and others (1–9) have shown that the accumulation of visceral fat is associated with multiple risk factor syndrome more closely than with the BMI itself or the amount of subcutaneous fat. In these studies, computed tomography (CT) scan at the umbilical level (10) was used for the assessment of visceral fat area (VFA). However, the method is not cost-effective and/or radiation exposure is pr...
متن کاملA Contactless Electrochemical Impedance Measurement Method
We present the first demonstration of a passive, contactless method to interrogate electrochemical impedance (EI) via a microfabricated MEMS coil. EI measurement was achieved using the principle of reflected impedance between a pair of inductively coupled coils. Ionic concentration and electrolyte temperature were wirelessly transduced from measurement electrodes connected to a microfabricated ...
متن کاملRetinal thickness measurement using OCT.
We read with interest the paper published by Payne et al., in the November 2011 issue, in particular the statement that the ratio of OCT thicknesses measured at different time points is machine invariant because of the cancellation of the baseline thickness. We believe that this statement is incorrect, because of the nature of the calculation of retinal thickness using OCT. We present the reaso...
