Bioimpedance Spectroscopy: Basics and Applications

Bioimpedance Spectroscopy

In the context of biology, electrical phenomena are usually identified with ionic currents through protein channels, for example as they are postulated during nerve signalling (Andersen et al. Prog Neurobiol 88(2):104–113, 2009; Sakmann and Neher Annu Rev Physiol 46:455–472, 1984). However, there are more electrical phenomena that play a significant role in biological systems, namely those aris...

Analytical molecular and biomolecular spectroscopy: basics and applications.

Traditionally, as compared to atomic spectroscopy techniques, nalyticalmolecular spectroscopyon thewhole comprisesagreater xtent of studies related to analysing various structural and (or) onformational characteristics, bonding, interand intramolecular nteractions, etc., rather than merely quantitative analyses of olecular species. Of course, such molecular-level structure-andonding related inf...

Electrical Bioimpedance: Methods and Applications

Bio-electrical impedance analysis (BIA) is an inexpensive, quick and noninvasive technique for measuring body composition. Unlike other various complicated methods, bioimpedance measurement technique is simple and less time consuming for various applications including medicine, biotechnology and security system. BIA is a promising method for predicting changes in body composition and has the po...

SWI Basics, Applications and Pitfalls

Susceptibility-weighted imaging (SWI) is a high spatial resolution, three-dimensional (3D), gradientecho (GRE) magnetic resonance (MR) technique [1]. It uses both the T2*-weighted magnitude and the phase information to emphasize the magnetic susceptibility differences of various tissues or substances, such as blood products, iron, and calcification, by post-processing the magnitude images with ...
