A METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR MEASURING THE THICKNESS OF ADIPOSE TISSUE

摘要

The body fat measuring techniques employed to date, usually apply a certain level of force to the tissue causing narrowing of the adipose tissue layer at the time of measuring. This creates a bias in the adipose layer thickness measurement results that is not accounted for when employing these methods. The current apparatus and method offer a solution for accounting for this bias thus improving the accuracy of body fat measurements.
