碩士 === 國立暨南國際大學 === 電機工程學系 === 101 === According to 2012 C.D.C statistics, cardiovascular diseases have become the second among the top ten Taiwan leading causes of death. And cerebrovascular diseases of circulatory system have become the third position. In this thesis, a new quick atherosclerosis test system is designed. There are two parts in this system, hardware and software. The system hardware includes vascular elasticity measurement circuits and Bioimpedance measurement circuit. And the system software is imaging analysis program with Labview. After integrating the designed programs on various circuits, it begins to measure the integration system. By the results in detest, the system is capable of observing the hardening of the arteries. In addition, programs users can see on the results of the analysis; thus, it is considerable potential and feasibility to detect arteries hardening by light volume.
