Biomedical Aplications of Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) and Spectroscopy

The group has developed and applied instrumentation for EIT and spectroscopy  in the following medical fields:

• Monitoring ventilation in Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD) patients
• Body Impedance Analysis (BIA) for Haemodialysis and Peritoneal Dialysis
• BIA in Heart Failure
• Body composition and Body Fluid Shift in µ-gravity
• Electrical Biopsy for evolution of ischemia and heart graft rejection
• Biomass monitoring for cell cultures
• Food quality control
• Monitoring of cell division and differentiation in monolayer cultures
