ABSTRACT

Electric properties, that is, electric conductivity and permittivity, exhibit a large variety across the different types of human tissues (see, e.g., Gabriel et al., 1996). Mapping these electric properties yields images rich in contrast and information. Since this contrast is found in both healthy and pathologic tissues, the knowledge of tissue electric properties has great potential to help
