In diesem Wintersemester wird die im WiSe 2022/23 erfolgreich gestartete Vortragsreihe Medical Information Sciences fortgesetzt. Renommierte Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler unterschiedlicher Fachdisziplinen und Forschungsstandorte geben jeden Donnerstag ab 17:30 Uhr Einblicke in aktuelle Fragestellungen und Anwendungsgebiete des breiten Forschungsfeldes Medical Information Sciences.

Bioimpedance analysis is an established non-invasive method that is already in clinical use for body composition measurement or electrical impedance tomography. However, novel instrumentation and signal processing approaches enable significant improvements of these applications as well as new measurement approaches. This presentation will give a brief insight into the theory of bioimpedance analysis and discuss instrumentation approaches. Subsequently, examples of new scientific measurement approaches will be presented. The focus will be on the detection of skeletal muscle contractions (impedance myography) and pulse wave detection (impedance plethysmography).
