Abstract

We carried out the numerical analysis in order to examine fat thickness estimation for applying the electrical bio-impedance tomography. Recently, the increase of obese subjects becomes a large social problem. For obese prevention, it is said that health care by appropriate exercise is necessary. For example, it seems to be useful for health care by knowing adhesion condition of the subcutaneous fat in the femoral region, because the metabolism rate and the exercise ability can be grasped. Electrical bio-Impedance Tomography is one of the cheapest ways in order to realize a tomography. We can obtain a conductivity distribution in human body. EIT utilizes relationship between the injection current and surface potential distribution depending on the conductivity difference. Then, we carried out the examination by finite difference method in order to establish the technique for estimating the subcutaneous fat thickness in the femoral region by application of the electrical bio-impedance tomography.

电生物阻抗断层成像脂肪厚度估计的基础研究

我们进行了数值分析，以检验应用电生物阻抗断层成像的脂肪厚度估计。近年来，肥胖人群的增加已成为一个重大的社会问题。为了预防肥胖，据说通过适当的运动进行保健是必要的。例如，了解股区域皮下脂肪的粘连情况似乎对保健有帮助，因为可以掌握代谢率和运动能力。电生物阻抗层析成像是实现层析成像最经济的方法之一。我们可以得到人体电导率的分布。EIT利用注入电流和表面电位分布之间的关系，这取决于电导率差。然后，我们进行了有限差分法检查，以建立应用电生物阻抗断层扫描估计股骨区域皮下脂肪厚度的技术。
