Beyond the L-Dex: Interpreting Bioimpedance Spectroscopy for Comprehensive Clinical Assessment
Bioimpedance spectroscopy (BIS) is best known for detecting lymphoedema via the L-Dex score, but its potential extends far beyond this application. BIS can provide rich data on body composition, segmental analysis, and fluid distribution, offering clinicians insights relevant to many conditions.
This webinar will equip lymphoedema practitioners currently using bioimpedance in their clinical practice with practical strategies to interpret BIS results holistically, moving beyond reliance on a single score. Participants will also gain skills in navigating challenging cases, recognising limitations of the technology, and applying BIS findings in real-world clinical scenarios.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Move beyond the L-Dex score to interpret the full range of BIS outputs.
- Apply BIS to assess body composition (lean mass, fat mass, hydration status) and segmental analysis.
- Understand the role of BIS in monitoring heart failure, body composition
- Identify common challenges and pitfalls in BIS interpretation, including technical and clinical limitations.
- Troubleshoot difficult-to-interpret cases through case-based examples.
- Integrate BIS findings with clinical reasoning for personalised patient care.
Recommended: Familiarity with SOZO is helpful, as the content is tailored to practitioners currently using the system.
