A Water Dependent Tissue Dielectric Model for Estimation of in-vivo Dielectric Properties

This paper discusses the relationship of tissue water contents with the dielectric properties and develop a water dependent dielectric model. The proposed model provides a means of estimating in-vivo dielectric properties of body tissue from the mass fraction of water in the tissue. The estimated dielectric properties of tissue can play a vital role in hyperthermia treatment planning and electromagnetic medical device development.
