1 INTRODUCTION
The bioimpedance measurements in humans have been
receiving considerable attentions during the past two
decades because of several advantages, such as low cost,
easy application, non-invasiveness and on-line monitor-
ing. The original bioimpedance technique was bioelectrical
impedance analysis (BIA). Within a decade, this technique
evolved into the more advanced technique known as bioelec-
trical impedance spectroscopy (BIS), also called multiple-
frequency bioimpedance analysis (MFBIA). BIS applies
