title: Hook effect correction & resistance-based cole fitting prior cole model-based analysis: experimental validation.
abstract: The analysis of measurements of Electrical Bioimpedance (EBI) is on the increase for performing non-invasive assessment of health status and monitoring of pathophysiological mechanisms. EBI measurements might contain measurements artefacts that must be carefully removed prior to any further analysis. Cole model-based analysis is often selected when analysing EBI data and might lead to miss-conclusion if it is applied on data contaminated with measurement artefacts. The recently proposed Correction Function to eliminate the influence of the Hook Effect from EBI data and the fitting to the real part of the Cole model to extract the Cole parameters have been validated on experimental measurements. The obtained results confirm the feasible experimental use of these promising pre-processing tools that might improve the outcome of EBI applications using Cole model-based analysis.
