Popis: Electrical bioimpedance (EBI) depends on physical, biological, or chemical characteristics of the biological sample. EBI measurements provide an alternative to observe in human and nonhuman subjects the following aspects: special features, biological changes compared with controls, different stages, changes in time, or any other issue to establish identification or association with a disease condition, stage, or evolution. Many researchers have addressed this relationship, with a huge amount of possibilities, for example, in body composition, skin and breast tumor/cancer, kidney problems, edema, in the quality and quantity of muscle/fat/water, in the case of lung function/condition, gastric motility, knee injuries, etc. How safe, accurate, sensitive, and specific are these alternatives in medical diagnosis is the subject of this chapter.
