Development of a dielectric equivalent gel for better impedance matching for human skin.

摘要

It would be useful to develop a tissue equivalent gel to improve the uniformity of the electromagnetic field in the human body, and for making a tissue equivalent dielectric human phantom. In this study, solid type, water based gelatin-honey gels were developed which have the electrical characteristics of skin tissue. It was demonstrated that a stable and homogeneous gel, with a relative dielectric constant varepsilon ' chosen from desired ranges found in skin, can be made for 200-400 MHz.
