Anisotropy of human muscle via non-invasive impedance measurements.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Combining non-invasive 50 kHz impedance measurements with a mathematical model for the underlying structure, we obtain in vivo values for the transverse and longitudinal conductivities of the muscles of the human thigh and for the (isotropic) conductivity of the covering skin-fat layer. Results for a healthy male subject are in acceptably good agreement with those obtained elsewhere on surgically exposed or freshly excised animal tissue and with 'global' measurements on humans. Also, measurements using rotatable probes reveal orientations of underlying muscle fibres via minima in resistance versus angle curves. The results suggest potentially useful methods for studying muscle properties in clinical and physiological research.

Total body muscle mass estimation from bioelectrical impedance analysis & simple anthropometric measurements in Indian men.
BACKGROUND & OBJECTIVE Skeletal muscle mass represents about 30-40 per cent of the total body weight, and has important roles in function and metabolism. Although newer methods of measuring muscle mass are accurate and sophisticated, there is a need for methods that can be used in low resource settings. Existing methods of predicting muscle mass are based on mid upper arm circumference (MUAC) m...

Abstract Background: Impedance cardiography (ICG) is a simple and inexpensive technique for non-invasive and continues measurement of stroke volume. Due to non-invasive nature, ICG is becoming increasingly used in research and clinical applications. With regard to lack of domestic impedance cardiograph and limited similar imported products in the country, an inexpensive and portable protot...
متن کاملValidation of a finite-element solution for electrical impedance tomography in an anisotropic medium.
Electrical impedance tomography is an imaging method, with which volumetric images of conductivity are produced by injecting electrical current and measuring boundary voltages. It has the potential to become a portable non-invasive medical imaging technique. Until now, implementations have neglected anisotropy even though human tissues such as bone, muscle and brain white matter are markedly an...
متن کاملReview Article: Application of Electrical Impedance Spectroscopy in Bladder Cancer Screening
Introduction Bladder cancer is the most common malignancy in elderly people and most bladder cancers are transitional cell carcinomas (TCC). Bladder pathology is usually investigated visually by cystoscopy and this technique can represent different conditions ranging from simple inflammation to flat CIS. However, biopsies must be taken from the suspected area to obtain diagnostic information. T...
متن کاملPerfusion Tensor Imaging of Human Skeletal Muscle
Introduction: The ability to non-invasively measure tissue perfusion is critical for assessing the physiological functions of human skeletal muscle in both healthy and disease states. The traditional techniques to measure tissue perfusion in human muscle are invasive and measure only bulk properties which do not render information on either spatial or temporal heterogeneity. Velocity selective ...
