| Title: | ALGORITHMS FOR AN ACTIVE ELECTRODE, BIOIMPEDANCE-BASED TISSUE DISCRIMINATION SYSTEM | |||||||||||
| Abstract: | A method and system for discriminating tissues in a subject, particularly for identifying nerve tissue, includes a processor, a waveform generator, a waveform electrode and a return electrode and an electrical property measuring device such as a volt meter. The electrodes are applied to the skin of the subject and an electrical waveform applied to the tissue via the electrodes. A series of electrical property measurements between the electrodes yield digital data that is used to determine coefficients of an approximating mathematical function, which is then used to derived electrical properties of the tissue. Derived electrical properties are then displayed on a display device. | |||||||||||
