Abstract

Each biological tissue has endemic electrical characteristics owing to various differences such as those in cellular arrangement or organization form. The endemic electrical characteristics change when any biological change occurs. This work is a preliminary study surveying the changes in the electrical characteristics of biological tissue caused by radiation exposure. For protection aganinst radiation hazards, therefore the electrical characteristics of living tissue were evaluated after development of the automatic control measurement system using LabVIEW. No alteration of biological tissues was observed before and after measurement of the electrical characteristics, and the biblogical tissues exhibited similar patterns. Through repeated measurements using the impedance/gain-phase analyzer, the coefficient of variation was determined as within 10%. The reproducibility impedance phase difference in electrical characteristics of the biological tissue did not change, and the tissue had resistance. The absolute value of impedance decreased constantly in proportion to the frequency. It has become possible to understand the electrical characteristics of biological tissues through the measurements made possible by the use of the developed. automatic control system.

생체 조직은 세포 배열이나 조직 형태 등 다양한 차이에 의해 각각 고유의 전기적 특성을 가지며, 생물학적 변화가 일어나면 고유의 전기적 특성이 변한다. 본 연구는 방사선 피폭에 따른 생체 조직의 전기적 특성 변화를 측정하기 위한 선행연구로 측정 과정에서 방사선 피폭 우려가 있으므로, 실험자의 방사선 장애를 방지하기 위해 LabVIEW를 이용하여 자동제어 측정 시스템을 개발한 후 생체 조직의 특성을 평가하고자 하였다. 생체 조직의 전기적 특성 측정전 후 형태학적 변화를 관찰한 결과 조직 변화는 관찰되지 않았으며, 유사한 양상이었다. Impedance/Gain-phase analyzer로 생체 조직의 임피던스를 반복 측정한 결과 변동계수가 10% 미만으로 측정값은 재현성이 있었다. 주파수 변화에 따른 생체 조직의 전기적 특성 중에서 위상차 변화는 거의 없었으며, 조직은 저항성을 나타내었고, 임피던스 크기는 주파수에 비례하여 일정하게 감소하였다. 본 연구를 통해 생체 조직의 전기적 특성 변화를 측정할 수 있는 자동제어 시스템을 개발하였으며, 생체 조직의 전기적 특성을 이해할 수 있었다.
