Several applications of Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) make use of Cole parameters as base of their analysis, therefore Cole parameters estimation has become a very common practice within Multifrequency- and EBI spectroscopy. EBI measurements are very often contaminated with the influence of parasitic capacitances, which contributes to cause a hook-alike measurement artifact at high frequencies in the EBI obtained data. Such measurement artifacts might cause wrong estimations of the Cole parameters, contaminating the whole analysis process and leading to wrong conclusions. In this work, a new approach to estimate the Cole parameters from the real part of the admittance, i.e. the conductance, is presented and its performance is compared with the results produced with the traditional fitting of complex impedance to a depressed semi-circle. The obtained results prove that is feasible to obtain the full Cole equation from only the conductance data and also that the estimation process is safe from the influence capacitive leakage.
生物电阻抗(EBI)的几种应用将科尔参数作为其分析的基础,因此科尔参数估计已成为多频和EBI光谱学中非常常见的做法。EBI测量经常受到寄生电容影响的干扰,这在EBI获得的数据中导致高频时出现类似钩子的测量伪像。这种测量伪像可能会导致科尔参数的错误估计,污染整个分析过程并导致错误结论。在这项工作中,提出了一种从导纳的实部(即电导)估计科尔参数的新方法,并将其性能与传统的将复阻抗拟合为凹陷半圆所产生的结果进行比较。所得结果证明,仅从电导数据获得完整的科尔方程是可行的,并且估计过程不受电容性泄漏影响。
