This study establishes a conductivity scaling factor for skull tissue, bridging live and post-mortem measurements. This research clarifies skull conductivity variability using a validated mathematical model.

Area of Science:

  • Biophysics
  • Neuroscience
  • Biomaterials

Background:

  • Skull conductivity values exhibit significant controversy and variability in existing literature.
  • Accurate conductivity measurements are crucial for various applications, including medical device design and surgical planning.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To correlate live and post-mortem skull conductivity measurements.
  • To establish a reliable scaling factor for converting between live and post-mortem conductivity values.
  • To validate this scaling factor using a mathematical model and existing data.

Main Methods:

  • Live skull conductivity was measured directly.
  • Post-mortem skull conductivity measurements were correlated with live measurements.
  • A mathematical model incorporating saline and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) conductivities was developed to predict skull conductivity.
