  • Measurement of Hydration, Edema, and Bioelectrical Impedance
    Publication number: 20170112437
    Abstract: A method of determining a degree of hydration of a sample, by generating a radio frequency signal with a frequency of no less than about two megahertz. The radio frequency signal is directed into the sample with an antenna that does not contact the surface of the sample. A reflected radio frequency signal is received from the sample and compared to the reflected radio frequency signal. Differences between the directed radio frequency signal and the reflected radio frequency signal are correlated to a degree of hydration of the sample.
