Research paper thumbnail of A heuristic model to evaluate the dielectric properties of human tissues at microwave band based on water and solid content

Journal of Engineering and Applied Science

In this work, we propose a heuristic methodology using hydration models as a base to realize an automatic and noninvasive procedure to estimate an ad hoc map of the complex dielectric permittivity of a generic human tissue in the frequency range of microwaves based on their solid and water content.

The approach we have chosen is based on finding the geometrical conditions to null the unnecessary terms of the Taylor expansion of the analytical description of the field to generate. One of the methods is based on a paper written by Prof. Sir Peter Mansfield the second one use the Target Field Method devised by Professor Robert Turner and can be useful even to design coils with active screen.

Research paper thumbnail of A Comparison of Simple Models to Evaluate Dielectric Properties of Human Tissues at 2.45 GHZ from Water Content

A qualitative validation comparing the data obtained from the model with those available in the literature has been performed.

Research paper thumbnail of Water content evaluation of a human tissue using magnetic resonance imaging: A quantitative benchmarking approach

International Symposium on Electromagnetic Compatibility - EMC EUROPE, 2012

Two different approaches to gain the same goal will be outlined and discussed in order to draw a roadmap for subsequent studies and refinements which will lead to dielectric properties finding.
