초록

전기체간스캔법(EIS, electro interstitial scan)은 미세 직류전류를 인체의 사지말단 또는 국소적 인가를 통해 인체의 전류 반응을 기준으로 인체의 질병 유무를 판별할 수 있는 비침습적인 질병 스크리닝 방법으로 가능성을 보이고 있다. 프랑스에서 개발된 DDFAO는 다채널 EIS로 다양한 질병, 특히 당뇨와 같은 내분비 기관의 진단에 효과적이라고 주장한다. 본 연구에서는 RC 팬텀 모델을 이용하여 DDFAO의 측정의 반복성과 민감도를 확인하고, 정상군과 당뇨 질환군을 대상으로 임상적 유용성을 검정하였다. 그 결과, 팬텀을 이용할 경우, 반복 측정시 값의 변화가 없고 팬텀 특성이 변화될 때 DDFAO의 측정 결과도 변화되었다. 그러나 임상 측정에 있어서 6개의 표면 전극을 이용하여 비침습적 방법으로 정상인과 당뇨병 환자의 구별은 어려울 뿐만 아니라 반복성과 정확성도 우수하지 않았다. 그러나, 이러한 문제점에도 불구하고 측정 방법의 편리성과 간편성으로 인해 국소적인 영역보다 인체 전반적인 특성을 파악하는 스크린 장비로써의 개발 가능성은 여전히 보이고 있기에 EIS에 대한 다양한 기반 연구가 필요하다.

Electro interstitial scan shows potential as a non-invasive screening method. It can discriminate some diseases based on electric current response to induce low intensity direct current to limbs or local area of body. DDFAO was invented in France and it is claimed that multi-channel EIS(Electro Interstitial Scan) is useful for various diseases, especially, diagnoses of endocrine system such as diabetics are very effective. In this study, we verified the repeatability and sensitivity of DDFAO by using a RC phantom model and its clinical usefulness using data obtained from normal and diabetes subject groups. As a result, it showed the repeatability and the output change according to change of phantom characteristic, but it was hard to distinguish normal and patient groups non-invasively with just six surface electrodes of DDFAO. The repeatability and the clinical accuracy was not sufficient for screening or diagnostic purposes, as well. In spite of the results with low repeatability and accuracy conducted in this study, we still need further investigations to improve the EIS-based measurement method; EIS is very convenient and simple and it shows potential as a screening tool of the whole body health conditions rather than localized disease diagnosis.
