Dielectric Properties of the Human Body for Wave-lengths in the 1–10 cm. Range

A SUMMARY of the results of measurements of the dielectric properties of a representative selection of body tissues at a wave-length of 3.18 cm. has already been published1. These measurements have now been extended to two other wave-lengths, namely, 1.27 cm. and 10.0 cm., the method used being similar to that already described. All specimens, with the exception of bone, were taken from surgical operations, and measurements were made in each case with the minimum of delay and at a controlled temperature of 37.0 ± 0.5° C.
