impedancemetry
Impedancemetry is a technique used to measure how easily electrical signals pass through a material or tissue, called impedance. Think of impedance as the resistance and reaction a pathway offers to electrical flow, which varies depending on properties like composition and structure. It’s often used in medical settings, such as analyzing body tissues, to detect changes or abnormalities. The process involves sending a small, safe electrical current into the material and measuring how much is reflected back or passes through. This information helps in diagnosing conditions or assessing the health of tissues in a precise and non-invasive way.
