ABSTRACT
Exploring the interrelation between the electrical and mechanical properties of soft tissues in biological system is a subject of great interest to biomedical engineers. In biological soft tissues, the viscoelastic and dielectric properties are well correlated, and variations in the viscoelastic properties can lead to variations in the dielectric properties. The measurement of dielectric properties of soft tissues in vivo is less complicated when compared to the measurement of viscoelastic properties. This chapter presents the analysis of correlation between the dielectric and viscoelastic properties of brain and liver tissue. In addition, this chapter introduces selected machine learning approaches for the prediction of viscoelastic properties of soft tissues using measurements of dielectric properties.
