Exists a bioimpedance model/software of whole human body current and voltage distribution simulation for 4-electrode measurement (similar to DOI10.5617/jeb.173)? Preferable for matlab use where one can simulate different electrode configuration. Interesting beside would be changeable impedance for arterial and venous blood separately.
I think using a cst studio for bioimpedance measurements by applying finite element and adaptive meshing optimization will be suitable
Thanks
Hi Mike,
You will probably have to create the model yourself to suit your needs, for example, from MRI dicom images. Regardless of the software you decide to use to perform the simulations, simulating a realistic model is especially challenging because it requires accurate values for the permittivity property of different tissues and fluids in the model. As of today, there are still major gaps of knowledge on the frequency-dependence of this property. Also, depending on the model complexity, another major challenge is to perform an accurate validation of the simulation setting and results.

Benjamin
