A software tool for fabricating phantoms mimicking human tissues with designated dielectric properties and frequency.

Objectives: Dielectric materials play a crucial role in assessing and refining the measurement performance of dielectric properties for specific tasks. The availability of viable and standardized dielectric materials could greatly enhance medical applications related to dielectric properties. However, obtaining reliable phantoms with designated dielectric properties across a specified frequency range remains challenging.

A Reliable Approach for Fabricating Tissue-Mimicking Phantoms with Designated Dielectric Properties from 16 MHz to 3 GHz.

Tissue-mimicking dielectric phantoms are widely used to mimic the relative permittivity and conductivity of human tissues in various medical applications. The artificial material combinations determine the characterization of dialectic phantoms. However, a method that reliably determined the composition of artificial materials with designed values of dielectric properties and frequency is still lacking.
