In vitro tissue characterization and modelling using electrical impedance measurements in the 100 Hz-10 MHz frequency...

In vitro electrical impedance spectrometry was performed on tissue samples excised from sheep. Measured data have been processed to reduce dispersion in measurements and to provide criteria useful for tissue comparison. Two electrical models are proposed for tissues exhibiting a one-circle impedance locus and a two-circle impedance locus. Measurement results and electrical parameters of tissues and models fitted to experimental data are presented. Model sensitivity to parameter variations is discussed.
