Abstract

Bio-impedance measurement system(BMS) is non-invasive and easy to implement a measurement method that allows determining the water content of a patient. The measurement conditions, the hardware specifications and the configurations of BMS devices must be well chosen in order to get correct and reproducible results. BMS was then conducted for the limbs and the thoracic using a lock-in amplifier and LabView control system with a frequency range of 1kHz-100kHz. From both the measurement data and the simulation results, we verified that the parameters in the proposed equivalent model and the trend of impedance variation according to the multi-frequency of applied current source are similar to those of human body. We believe that the real-time BMS developed in this study is highly reliable and applicable to the research on the clinical characteristics of the human being's impedance.

생체임피던스 측정 시스템은 비침습적이고, 환자의 수분함량을 쉽게 측정할 수 있게 한다. 생체임피던스 측정에서 정확하고 재현성 있는 결과를 얻기 위해서는 측정조건과 하드웨어 사양의 선택 및 구성이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 1kHz에서 100kHz 주파수 범위에서 락인엠프, 랩뷰 제어시스템을 이용하여 사지와 흉부에 대해 생체임피던스 측정을 각각 수행하였으며, 측정 및 모의실험 결과를 통해 제안한 모델의 파라메터와 인가 전원의 주파수에 따른 저항 및 리액턴스 변화가 인체실험 결과와 유사한 결과로 나타남을 확인하였다. 제안한 실시간 생체임피던스 측정 시스템은 높은 신뢰성을 가지며, 인체에 대한 임피던스의 임상적인 특성 연구에도 적용될 수 있을 것이다.
