Abstract
Accurate knowledge of the dielectric properties of
biological tissues are crucial for various applications
such as assessment of specific absorption rate and
safety of electromagnetic medical devices. Most of
the availably dielectric data in literature is based on
ex-vivo measurements on biological tissue samples
obtained from various animal models. This study
investigates the differences in the in-vivo and ex-vivo
dielectric properties of biological tissues, and variance over several animal species. The dielectric data
is obtained from literature and organized to a unified
format for comparison. The analysis shows considerable variations not only between in-vivo and ex-vivo
dielectric properties of various tissues but also between various animal species.
