Background:

  • Electrical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) is vital for characterizing biological tissues.
  • Existing methods often require pre-selected impedance models, limiting comprehensive analysis.
  • Understanding tissue electrical properties is key to diagnosing and treating various conditions.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a model-independent mathematical method for recovering the permittivity relaxation spectrum of living tissues.
  • To extract characteristic electrical parameters, including time constants and their distribution.
  • To identify the optimal frequency range for capturing the beta-dispersion in tissue EIS.

Main Methods:

  • A new mathematical procedure to calculate the relaxation time distribution from impedance data (real and imaginary parts).
