Effect of Cu doping on Ba0.95Pb0.05TiO3 electrical properties studied by means of electrical impedance spectroscopy
2019
The ceramics of 0.95BaTiO3–0.05PbTiO3+Xwt.%CuO (X = 0.05, 0.1, 1, 3) were prepared by a solid phase reaction. The structural and morphology studies were carried out by means of X-ray diffraction te...
Electrical impedance spectroscopy as a potential adjunct diagnostic tool for cutaneous melanoma.
2012
Background Previous studies have shown statistically significant differences in electrical impedance between various cutaneous lesions. Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) may therefore be able to aid clinicians in differentiating between benign and malignant skin lesions. Objectives The aim of the study was to develop a classification algorithm to distinguish between melanoma and benign lesions of the skin with a sensitivity of at least 98% and a specificity approximately 20 per cent higher than the diagnostic accuracy of dermatologists. Patients/Methods A total of 1300 lesions were collected in a multicentre, prospective, non-randomized clinical trial from 19 centres around Europe. Al…
Diagnosing early Barrett’s neoplasia and oesophageal squamous cell neoplasia by bioimpedance spectroscopy in human tissue
2013
Background: Detection of early oesophageal cancer in surrounding normal tissue can be challenging, but detection is essential to determine the subsequent treatment. Dysplastic tissue can be detected by using electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Objective: The aim of the present study was to evaluate the feasibility and value of EIS in the diagnosis of oesophageal neoplasia. Methods: This prospective ex-vivo study included 23 patients with early oesophageal cancer (17 with Barrett’s cancer and six with early squamous cell cancer). Immediately after endoscopic resection, the electrical properties of the resected specimens were investigated using a pencil probe (5 mm in diameter, frequency…
