Our research group developed a special prototype to use in liver examinations. The experiments are ongoing, we made comparative studies to certify the quality and accuracy of the measuring method. The possible outcomes of liver fat measuring device: a non-invasive method of liver fat, suitable for use with a clinical patient bed.
The subject of the patented method is a data collection and data processing procedure. By this method, the internal structure of the inhomogeneous material structure can be electrically excited, which can be determined by the measured electrical space parameters. The sensors are located on the surface of the material. During the measurement combined with electrical excitation and multiple translucent frequencies, the resolution is increased and after processing the information density of the results is significantly increased. The invention has a high potential for utilization, and the planned diagnostic instrument development also promises a large market.

Amblyopia (i.e. lazy eye) is a leading cause of permanent vision loss below age of 30 in developed societies. The incidence of this disease is about 6-7% in every population, independent of race or nationality. The main causes of amblyopia are mild childhood eye refractory problems (e.g. anisometropia) and/or eye movement disorders (e.g. squint), which result in a disturbance of visual cortical development. Failure to recognize the problem till 6 or 7 years of age makes the chances of recovery minimal. Irreversible consequences include the lack of binocular vision and impaired visual acuity in one eye. The degree of vision loss can vary from mild to complete blindness. This visual impairment not only creates a great hardship for the child, it can certainly limit future endeavors. Furthermore, if the good, non-amblyopic, eye becomes damaged (e.g. injury, illness) then the person immediately becomes visually disabled.
