Single cross-sectional area of pectoralis muscle by computed tomography – correlation with bioelectrical impedance based skeletal muscle mass in healthy subjects

Skeletal muscle depletion is an important prognostic factor in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD); a recent study demonstrated significant correlations between pectoralis muscle area on an axial CT image and COPD-related traits. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the relation between pectoralis muscle areas on CT scans and total body skeletal muscle mass (SMM) in healthy subjects.

SPECTROSCOPIC ADMITTIVITY IMAGING OF BIOLOGICAL TISSUES : CHALLENGES AND FUTURE DIRECTIONS

 We can express the electrical tissue properties as the frequency-dependent admittivity, which can be measured in a macroscopic scale by assessing the relation between the timeharmonic electric field and current density. This paper discusses a number of issues in electrical tissue property imaging modalities and their future directions.
