Description

Six-ring electrode technology for measuring biological dielectric character
Six-ring electrode device of the present invention is applicable to the dielectric property measurement of low frequency frequency range tissue.
The electrode assembly that is used for the dielectric property measurement of low frequency frequency range biological tissue is at present mainly used four electrode technologies, and its measuring principle as shown in Figure 1.The four-probe measurement technology is made of two pairs of electrodes, and a pair of with constant exchange current introducing biological tissue, another draws the current potential at tested position to electrode.Adopt four electrode technologies, before measuring, biological tissue's sample must be cut into certain shape and size by certain requirement.This just makes the isolated time of tissue prolong, and adds cutting processing repeatedly, must destroy the normal physiological state of biological tissue, thereby bring bigger error to measurement.Other four electrode technologies are uncontrollable to the distribution of exciting current in tissue, and the distribution of electric current is relevant with size, the shape of tissue.So, adopt four electrode technologies to guaranteeing in the tissue or the even or regular relatively difficulty of the Electric Field Distribution in certain scope in the tissue, cause tissue different, the generation measuring error partly to the contribution difference of survey dielectric property.And this technology generally can not be used for directly biological tissue being carried out the measurement of dielectric property on life entity.
The four-probe measurement device (as shown in Figure 3) that is made of four needle electrodes can solve the dielectric property of measuring biological tissue on life entity.But it is uniformly that this kind electrode requires tissue, tissue volume big (approximate infinitely great).At tissue hour, the skewness of electric current, thereby produce bigger measuring error.
The objective of the invention is to seek a kind of new biological tissue's device for measuring dielectric characteristics.It makes measured biological tissue's sample production simple, convenient, reduces the isolated time of tissue, avoids the cutting processing repeatedly to tested tissue, thereby reduces the measuring error of bringing thus.It can control the flow direction of electric current in the tested tissue, make current density in tissue be evenly distributed or regular, improve measuring accuracy, and can directly on life entity, measure tissue.
The objective of the invention is to realize in the following manner.
Six-ring electrode of the present invention is made of potential electrode and guard electrode, shown in Fig. 4,5.Potential electrode is made of four metal rings on the insulation disk, and outer shroud and interior ring are galvanic electrode, and two rings between the inner and outer ring are voltage electrode, the midpoint of two voltage electrodes between the inner and outer ring distance.Guard electrode is made of two metal rings of another insulation on disk, and these two annulus also are galvanic electrode, and is identical with galvanic electrode diameter in the potential electrode.
The dielectric property of biological tissue comprises DIELECTRIC CONSTANT and two parameters of electrical conductivity σ (this biological tissue's dielectric property measure two parameters being asked) just.Suppose that biological tissue satisfies, isotropy and homogeneity, promptly ε do not change with σ with excitation and organize in each point identical, impressed frequency is the excitation of ω, then the electric field in the biological tissue will be determined by σ and two parameters of ε.As electric field intensity is E, and current density is J, and space charge density is q, and then following formula is set up
div(εE)=q (1)
Figure 88100107_IMG2
From above-mentioned two formulas, do not change in time as ε, then have
For alternating electric field, as be expressed as E=E 0Cos(ω t+ φ), following formula can be handled with plural number, then has
Figure 88100107_IMG4
As σ+i ω ε is expressed as complex permittivity
Then (4) formula also can be written as
Figure 88100107_IMG6
Because ε and σ and coordinate are irrelevant, therefore have
Figure 88100107_IMG7
Or be expressed as
Figure 88100107_IMG8
(7) be the Laplace's equation formula.Therefore the electric field in the biological tissue satisfies Laplace's equation.In the even biological tissue that ε and σ do not change with coordinate, ε in any case and the combination of σ are always the distribution of electric field is identical like this.Therefore the equivalence of the electric field in the biological tissue can be analyzed for general electrostatic field problem.
Adopt surface method to calculate two dimension or three-dimensional planar or axisymmetric electrostatic field universal program (SCMO2) electric field in the tissue between two electrodes in the six-ring electrode scheme is calculated, the result of analytical calculation as shown in Figure 7.Because of being axially symmetric field, only calculate to cross section half carry out.
As seen from Figure 7, really there being the be parallel to each other zone of (in certain depth of parallelism scope) of an equipotential line on this square section between the galvanic electrode, also be the electric current distribution parallel equidistant.Therefore on this zone, voltage electrode is set, writes down its current potential, can realize biological tissue's dielectric property is measured and data computation exactly.
If the extrinsic motivated electric current is
Figure 88100107_IMG9
, two distance between electrodes also are that thickness of tissue is D, are the r place at radius, have in the zone that equipotential line as shown in Figure 7 is parallel to each other
In uniform biological tissue, current density
Figure 88100107_IMG11
With electric field intensity The pass be
So, the voltage between two voltage electrodes is
The admittance that can be got ring-type tissue between two voltage electrodes by following formula is
Figure 88100107_IMG15
Therefore can get the electrical conductivity σ and the DIELECTRIC CONSTANT of biological tissue
Wherein D is a thickness of tissue, r 1, r 2Be the radius of two voltage electrode rings, ω is the angular frequency of excitation.
As long as record the thickness and the voltage of biological tissue, the amplitude of electric current and phase differential can be obtained the electrical conductivity and the specific inductive capacity of biological tissue easily by following formula.
