LabVIEW Based EIS DataInterpreter 06

This document describes a LabVIEW-based electrical bioimpedance spectroscopic data interpreter (LEBISDI) that analyzes bioimpedance data. It discusses how biological cells and tissues can be modeled using equivalent electrical circuits and impedance parameters. Three types of impedance data were used to evaluate LEBISDI: 1) computer-simulated data from various circuit models, 2) experimental data measured from real electronic components, and 3) impedance data collected from fruit and vegetable tissues to analyze tissue properties.

generated using a specially developed MATLAB-based
electrical impedance data-generating program. The PC-
based impedance data generator mathematically calculates
complex impedance and its phase angles at a number of
frequency points within a particular frequency band (10 Hz
to 2 MHz) for a number of circuit combinations called the
simulated circuit model (SCM). Using the combinations of

a different circuit elements such as resistance (R),


capacitance (C) and inductance (L), we could develop a
capacitive circuit model (CCM) and an inductive circuit
model (ICM). Figure 6 shows a few examples of the
electronic circuit combinations studied; each has different
values of resistance and capacitance connected in parallel
and is tested to calculate the simulated impedance (ZS)
within a specific frequency range.

2.4 Impedance Data Generation and Collection

A number of impedance data sets were generated and


collected to evaluate the performance of LEBISDI. They
are described in Section 2.5. Artificial impedance data were
simulated and experimental impedance data were collected
from various combinations of high-precision resistors and
capacitors. Finally, after evaluating and calibrating
LEBISDI, we collected impedance data from fruit and e f
vegetable tissues using an impedance analyzer.
