AN AUTOMATIC EDEMOMETER FOR DETERMINATION OF TISSUE LAYER POROELASTICITY CHARACTERISTICS

Abstract

Biomechanical behavior tissue makes possible to estimate an intracellular liquid motion. It is important at microcirculation analysis. It is shown the local pressure alteration at ousting of intracellular liquid suggests the tissue permeability by the theory of poroelasticity. An automatic edemometer for determination of tissue layer poroelasticity characteristics was developed. The results analysis is given into this work.
