Abstract: In this paper a method for characterization of live tissue
electromagnetic properties is proposed. The method combines data, acquired by
experimental computer system for bio-impedance measurements, and image data
obtained by infrared camera. The data from impedance analyzer and from infrared
camera are collected simultaneously for a given time period. The impedance data
are associated with infrared image data for electromagnetic properties
determination. The method developed is applied to evaluate the electromagnetic
properties of biological tissues. The proposed method is applicable for local
electric properties determination in inhomogeneous samples with random form.
Keywords: Bioimpedance, measurement system, electromagnetic properties, IR thermal images
