Dielectric response of some biological tissues.

The dielectric properties of two freshly excised mice tissue samples (kidney, skeletal muscle) and also freshly excised Ehrlich solid tumor were measured in the frequency range from 20 Hz to 100 kHz using RLC bridges. The data were fitted to a summation of multiple Cole-Cole dispersion and also to the constant power law which is related formally to the fractal geometries of tissues using a genetic algorithm for optimization developed by the author. The data were in good agreement with the Cole-Cole equation for the three samples. Copyright 2001 Wiley-Liss, Inc.
