| Abstract | Distributed modular system BioLab for biophysical examinations enabling assessment of the thyroid gland functional state is presented in the paper. The BioLab system is based on a standard notebook or desktop PC connected to an Ethernetbased network of several smart sensors. These sensors are programmed and controlled from PC and enable measurement and evaluation of selected biosignals. Two sensors for assessment of parameters of the human cardiovascular and neuromuscular system that are influenced by the production of thyroid gland hormones are introduced. Using these sensors, ECG, PCG and CTG signals are recorded to compute systolic time intervals and Achilles tendon reflex signal is recorded to compute the half relaxation time. These intervals serve as peripheral indicators characterizing the thyroid gland functional state and are used to estimate the total level of the thyroxine T4 thyroid gland hormone. |
