Preliminary comparison up to 50 GHz between in-vivo, in-loco, and ex-vivo measurements for the dielectric permittivity of tissues with high water content

Abstract

In this paper, preliminary results about the comparison between in-vivo, in-loco and ex-vivo dielectric properties of a limited colony of mice in the wide frequency range from 500 MHz to 50 GHz are shown. This is instrumental to the development of several applications that make use of microwaves and millimeter waves, including systems for breast cancer imaging.
