Abstract
Measuring the reactive component of the bio-impedance enables a full characterisation of the frequency response of a tissue. The amplitude of the reactive component is relatively small in the frequency range generally used in electrical impedance tomography (EIT). Its measurement is therefore more sensitive to errors. At higher frequencies, the amplitude of this component increases, which increases the signal-to-noise ratio. The stray capacitance, however, also increases and the front-end circuit must be designed carefully. The purpose of the present study is to show the feasibility of the collection of data at relatively high frequencies; 31.25 and 250 kHz were used. Both the real and reactive components were used to reconstruct images from capacitive targets. This study suggests that it may be possible to use multifrequency systems to determine the parameters of frequency loci and therefore tissue characterisation.
