Analysis of Dielectric Properties of Gelatin-based Tissue Phantoms

Abstract: In this work, an electrode was developed to determine the dielectric properties of tissue phantoms using impedance measurements. For this purpose, a coaxial electrode design was selected as the most suitable electrode design. Three tissue phantoms (blood, fat, muscle) were prepared from distilled water, sodium chloride, 1,2-propanediol, agar, and gelatine, and then characterized. Measurements were performed using an impedance analyzer in a range between 1 kHz and 1 MHz. A comparison with literature values showed good correspondance of the permittivity values determined, thus proving the applicability of the electrode design. However, the conductivity values measured were different from literature values. In the future, alteration and minimization of the electrode can be done to further improve the characterization.
